In case you haven't heard, the Paul Bunyan show is moving to Cambridge, Ohio this year. It will be at the Guernsey County Fairgrounds. The dates are a little different also. They are October 5, 6 & 7-Thursday through Saturday.

This is the first time in 30 years the show has been moved. I figured a lot of people would be planning to go to it in Nelsonville again this year...better change those plans!

  That is great news, Nelsonville while cool and out of the way is ...............REALLY OUT OF THE WAY!

  I would have went this year but it was just too much over hill and dale. I hope it helps the show. I know I will be more apt ot go now.

Who says Paul Bunyan won't be in Nelsonville on October 6-8, 2006?  The event won't have the same name but industry exhibitors and visitors alike are sure to recognize the wood products industry trade show they've come to expect when visiting the Hocking College campus.
   The show has not seen a lot of growth in recent years or any significant change.  That's all behind us as Hocking College takes advantage of this rare opportunity we've been handed. With a lot of help from our friends 2006 will perhaps be the biggest show we've ever had.  We have commitments from some long-time exhibitors who will return in 2006 and a couple of exhibitors have already committed to financial support.  We're looking at some new things to add while maintaining the tradition that industry exhibitors and show visitors have come to expect when arriving on Hocking College's campus the first full weekend in October.
   Now that it is Hocking College's show, what do you like to see develop as we move forward?  We welcome your suggestions.  Please contact Roy Palmer, 740-753-7017 or Judy Sinnott, 740-753-7008.

Thanks Sam...

Here is a link to the Ohio Forestry Association web site with info on the Paul Bunyan show in Cambridge, Oh.

Paul Bunyan 2006 in Camebridge, OH.


Dale,  How about links to a web site about the show that'll be at Hocking College?  We'll start a new thread.

This is going to be a mess if they're at the same time.  :-\  I really like the out of the way hill and dale drive to Nelsonville.  Made me feel like home!

Here is a link to the old posts on the Paul Bunyan show.  It'll give you some idea of what has been there in the last couple of years.

Why don't you drop Sparks and Instant Message and ask him if he can find out what they're bringing to each show?

I just wanted to clarify the dates for the Paul Bunyan Show in Cambridge, according to their website the show is Fri, Sat and Sun Oct 6, 7 and 8.  Also I wandered who else may be attending and is there a meeting place and time?  I know several people who have said they will be attending, Tom Averwater, BBTom, WVhillbilly and Mtn Jack.  Several of us will be camping at the fairgrounds so hopefully we can have a campfire.  I will not be bringing any firewood however since the firewood police would fine me $4000 and confiscate the wood if they caught me crossing the state line with it because of the emerald ash borer.  Hopefully someone closer can bring some firewood.

    NELSONVILLE - Hocking College's campus continues as the
place to be the first full weekend in October.   The National Timber and
Outdoor Show October 6-8 takes the place of a former timber industry
show that was held here for more than three decades.  No admission
charge is our way of saying thank you to supporters who remain loyal
during this transition year.  Share this with friends, neighbors and
acquaintances!

       A new event commands a new location.  The National Timber
and Outdoor Show will be located in the area adjacent to Robbins
Crossing and spills over Hocking Parkway to the ball fields where
camping and parking were formerly located.  Camping moves to the former
show grounds where campers will have access to water and electric.

Familiar sights visitors can expect to find are chain saw carving, the
Hank Peters lumberjack water show, a demonstration of antique steam
equipment, craft tent, the horse log pull and obstacle course and Dave
the snake guy with things that slither.

Rocky Outdoor Gear and Husqvarna continue as show anchors with Rocky's
exhibit featuring not only Rocky gear for the outdoors but Nelsonville
mementos that are ideal for the upcoming holiday season.

Husqvarna is hosting Rip Tompkins, world champion tree climber, who
offers ArborMaster training activities like climbing, rigging and
felling demos.   Husky's champion chain saw carver Bud Emerson will
headline the show of carvers and Husqvarna also will sponsor Game of
Logging competitions at the collegiate level and for landowners. 

       A highlight of the show is the Extreme Ox Traxx Challenge,
the first ATV event of its kind in the country making its debut on
Saturday, Oct. 7.  Conceptualized by Fast Traxx Promotions, the event is
based on an enduro-course style race that depicts all aspects of a ride
through the forest - within the confines of a 150-foot by 250-foot course.

"It's the size of the course that makes it different," said Norm
Bickley, Fast Traxx owner.  "This is a race through a confined space
with obstacles such as log crossings, mud, sand and rocks.  It's on the
ragged edged of excitement, a race riders will find challenging.  The
race promises to keep those watching on the edge of their seats," said
Bickley.

Classes include youth, beginner, utility and professional.  The event
offers the largest pro-purse race in the area with $500 for utility and
$1,000 for professionals.

The ATV course will be open throughout the weekend for sponsor demos.   
Exhibitors will be set up in the adjacent area displaying ATV related
merchandise.

       "The important thing about the National Timber and Outdoor
Show is that it is a live event and people will not only see a great
race but have an opportunity to try out some of the equipment on hand,"
Bickley said.

Major sponsors for the Xtreme Ox Trax Challenge are Fast Traxx
Promotions, Wayne National Forest, Rocky Outdoor Gear Store, Hocking
College and AllPower Equipment.  AllPower donated a $4,400 Arctic Cat
ATV that will given away by Rocky.

Wayne National Forest, Ohio's only national forest, will have a major
presence at the show.  "Our goal is to promote safe ATV use in the
forests," said WNF Public Affairs Officer Phil Sammons.

The first ever Big Air Dog Show in the valley takes place in the parking
lot near Robbins Crossing.  Dogs leaping into the water after a decoy
are judged on the length of leap and practices and competitions are
scheduled throughout the weekend.  Rocky and the Athens County
Convention and Visitors Bureau are two of the Big Air Dog sponsors.

A 5k run/walk opens Saturday activities at 8 a.m.  Shirts to the first
50 entrants and prizes will be awarded to the top two finishers in each
category (to be determined) and the top overall male and female finisher.

The Nelsonville Area Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the Chamber
Challenge Bicycle Poker Run that begins at 11 a.m.  Participants should
register at the start point SEO parking lot behind Robbins Crossing.      

There will be mini-canoe trips, about 10-15 minutes in length, down the
Hocking River and offered by the Ohio Outback Conservation Corp.

Robbins Crossing will be up and running with activities throughout the
weekend and rides to the depot and back aboard the Hocking Valley Scenic
Railway caboose shuttle will be available on the half hour.  Tickets are
purchased at Robbins Crossing.

"Walk thru Time" is an exploration of history beginning with American
Indians and moving through the Minutemen era and on with two Brigades
from the Civil War - the Ohio Valley Brigade's First Light Artillery and
the 63rd Ohio Valley Infantry.   All activities are staged adjacent to
Robbins Crossing.

An important aspect of the Walk Thru Time chronology is the dedication
Donald R. Nunley Memorial Mine Museum on Saturday, Oct. 7, at 2 p.m.

There is no admission charge for entrance into the National Timber and
Outdoor Show, "Our way of thanking loyal visitors who support Hocking
College and the area," said Roy Palmer, show director.

Entry into the ATV pit area/race is $8 and there tickets are available
for the "Elvis Tribute to the King Concert" with Dwight Icenhower and
the Elvis Originals, accompanied by D.J. Fontana, Presley's drummer for
15 years, an the Sweet Inspirations who were the King's back-up singers
of the 70s. The concert is Friday (Oct. 6) at 8 p.m. in the Student
Center.   Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are $20 or $12, call the
Response Center, 7123.   ###
