Get Ready for Fall: The Lumberjack Festival Returns to Springhill
In 1896, the Bodcaw Lumber Company opened up its sawmill operation with approximately fifty employees.
Bodcaw also built twenty five homes for its sawmill workers in the area just west of the mill still referred to as "Sawmill Town."
With the town's roots firmly planted in the timber industry of North Louisiana, it's only fitting to recognize those humble beginnings, and since 1984, that's exactly what Springhill has done with the annual Springhill Lumberjack Festival.
This year's festival, which is the 41st Annual event, will take place on Saturday, October 11, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm and is expected to be one of the biggest ever!
Just look at the incredible reasons why you certainly don't want to miss out on this one!
Lots Of Live Music
According to the Springhill Lumberjack Festival website, this year's event will feature loads of live music including the sounds of The Nighthawk Band and The Hempstead County Melody Boys.
Don't Miss The Annual Parade Down Main Street
There's the 41st Annual Lumberjack Festival Parade which rolls down Springhill's Main Street beginning at 11:00 on October 11!
Another huge attraction this year is the return of chainsaw carver, Micah McKinney, who is scheduled to give a demonstration starting at 10:00 am. Look for Micah to be set up outside next to the CAC Building! Bring your lawn chair and watch the whole show!
On top of all these attractions, the festival will feature scores of vendors with all types of arts, crafts and wares. There will be loads of great food and plenty of things for the kids to enjoy!
