🪚🌲 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT — Cole Tire Sales & Service! 🌲🪚

A huge THANK YOU to Cole Tire for once again sponsoring the Jack & Jill Crosscut Saw at the Manton Harvest Festival Lumberjack Competition!

This one is extra special to me. Years ago, Cole Tire reached out to me asking how they could sponsor our competition — and every year since, they seem to beat me to it! 😂 Before I even get the chance to ask, they’re already checking in to see when I need their sponsorship ready.

That kind of continued support means so much.

I absolutely love our small town and the generous local business owners who continue to step up, support community events, and help us keep these traditions going year after year. ❤️

Cole Tire — thank you for being one of them and for supporting our Lumberjacks & Jills for another year!

Now get ready… the Jack & Jill Crosscut Saw is always a good one! 🪚💪🌲

🌲🪓 THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE MANTON ON LABOR DAY! 🪓🌲

Every year, the Manton Area Harvest Festival welcomes us back — and every year, they make the Lumberjack Competition feel like one of the main attractions of the entire weekend. ❤️

One of the best parts is the huge crowd that comes out year after year to cheer on our competitors, watch the action, and make this event so much fun to be part of. The energy in Manton is something special!

A very special thank you to Mike Moffit and the entire Manton Harvest Festival Committee, who are such a pleasure to work with each year. From the planning and preparation to the warm welcome when we arrive, their support means more than we can say.

When a festival keeps asking you back, treats your competitors like a featured attraction, and fills the grounds with an incredible crowd — you want to put on one heck of a show for them! 🪚🔥🪓

And Manton… we’re bringing it again in 2026!

We may have another little surprise this year, too… 👀

Our 2026 Manton Lumberjack shirts were designed especially for this event, and we CANNOT WAIT for you to see them! 🔥

Thank you to Mike, the Manton Harvest Festival Committee, and the amazing Manton crowd for the gracious welcome, the continued support, and for giving lumberjack sports such a great home every Labor Day.

❤️ We love coming back to Manton — and we’ll see you September 7!

Enjoy a couple of last year’s videos.

🪚🔥 A NEW SPONSOR — AND A FAMILY TRADITION CONTINUES! 🔥🪚

We’re excited to welcome CCH Builders Inc. — Clayton Helsel as a NEW sponsor for 2026, sponsoring the Women’s Stock Saw at the Manton Harvest Festival Lumberjack Competition!

But this sponsorship comes with a little history. ❤️

Craig & Angie Helsel have supported this competition for years — not only as sponsors, but also by pitching in and helping make the event happen. This year, they’re passing the torch to Clayton, and we couldn’t be happier to have CCH Builders Inc. continuing that tradition of support. 🌲

And Clayton picked a GREAT event to sponsor…

🪚 WOMEN’S STOCK SAW! 🪚

We might be a little biased, but we have a feeling this one is a crowd favorite. 😉

These women step up to the same kind of wood, fire up their saws and show everyone that they can run right with the guys!

The times are FAST.
The competition is CLOSE.
And yes… THESE WOMEN CAN CUT WOOD! 💪🔥🪵

A huge THANK YOU to Clayton Helsel and CCH Builders Inc. for becoming our 2026 Women’s Stock Saw Prize Sponsor, and to Craig & Angie for the many years of sponsorship, hard work and support that helped get us here.

One generation passing the torch to the next — exactly what lumberjack tradition is all about. ❤️🪓🌲

🌲🪓 SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT — WOODSTAR FORESTRY 🪓🌲

Some sponsors do more than sponsor an event — they help make the whole thing happen!

A HUGE thank you to Woodstar Forestry for all the support they provide to the Manton Harvest Festival Lumberjack Competition. From helping with event prep to providing the wood our competitors will be cutting, their support behind the scenes is a huge part of making this show possible year after year.

And this year, they’re also sponsoring one of the most fun events to watch…

🪓 JUNIOR AXE THROW! 🪓

The competitors’ kids get a chance to step up and be part of the action too! It’s always a crowd favorite watching the kiddos grab an axe, show off their skills, and maybe prove that lumberjack talent runs in the family! ❤️

Thank you, Woodstar Forestry, for supporting not only today’s lumberjacks and jills, but the next generation too! 🌲🪓
