SAINT PAUL, Minn. — Climbing, carving, chopping and throwing axes... being a lumberjack or lumberjill is no joke.
But it sure looks like fun.
At the Timberworks Lumberjack show at the state fair, the men and women compete in single buck saw, obstacle pole, logroll, hot saw and speed climb.
You can see the timber athletes in action at the Northwoods Stage off Cooper Street.
Lumberjacks Dave Weatherhead and Chester Isaacson, along with Lumberjill Sarah Hadley, joined KARE 11 Saturday to show off their fast-paced forest skills.
