SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31st, 1-6pm
Join us for our 3rd annual Lumberjack Party & Chili Cookout that originated as a post-Helene community gathering and workday. The event was such a big hit that we’ll keep doing it again and again… and this time we are hosting it on Halloween. Dorn your favorite lumberjack gear or fun costume. Bring your splitting axe if you’ve got one!
Saturday afternoon, we’ll be splitting firewood from fallen trees because of a wet summer and soft soil. We’ll teach folks log splitting skills and also be stacking firewood together for our beginners. By participating, you’ll also help residents and elders stock up on fire wood for the coming winter, since all buildings here are heated by wood.
After wood chopping, bring your family’s secret chili recipe for the chili cook-off. We’ll have a playful chili tasting competition and voting, then we’ll all enjoy the meal together fireside.
Prizes will be awarded to the top 2 chili contestants.
