Lincoln County Logger Days

Libby Logger Days has been resurrected and renamed as
Lincoln County Logger Days with a new sponsor - Rotary Club
of the Kootenai Valley, held over the weekend of June 19-21
at J. Neils Park.
The previous Libby Logger Days was held in 2019, with the
pandemic forcing a shutdown in 2020 and then a lack of
volunteers in the intervening years shuttered the annual
celebration of Libby's timber heritage. Rotary stepped in
this year to revisit the beloved event, offering
organizational structure and volunteer recruits.
Much of the traditional Logger Days was revived, with the
DLW Timberworks Lumberjack Show; fun run; parade; Bull and
Bullette of the Woods; lawnmower races; an Adventure Zone,
sawdust dig and games for kids; logging demonstrations;
food; vendors; live music; and more.
As in years past, a Logger Days button was required for
entry. The event was a Rotary fundraiser, with proceeds
contributing toward scholarships for high school students
and community projects.
It was an impressive weekend of activities and judging by
the crowds in attendance, it was certainly a success.
