Paul Bunyan Days

During Labor Day weekend, this friendly small town we recently reported was full of big hearts in our Small Towns feature throws a huge party with a carnival, music, tug-of-war and more. It’s all themed around Paul Bunyan, the giant lumberjack from American folklore, and is appropriately called Paul Bunyan Days. There’s a lot going on. Day 1: carnival opens, a pet and doll parade and karaoke. Day 2: fun run/walk, junior olympics and tug-of-war. Day 3: a community breakfast, a quilt show and an auction. Day 4: the big parade and competitive logging-themed events. All weekend, enjoy live music, shopping, helicopter rides, the carnival and food booths. The only thing missing is the celebrated fireworks show, canceled due to high fire danger.
