This action packed event runs 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. October 8 and 9, with exciting shows and activities galore. From head-to-head lumberjack competitions with Ironjack Timber Team; blacksmith demos

by Jim Doherty; and chainsaw sculptures, to new sights including the Classic K9 Performance Team.

Experience live performances both days from singer/songwriter Liz Nordstrom, along with the authentic Appalachian acoustic sounds of Lost Ramblers Bluegrass Band. Stroll through vendors and dine on delectables. Squeal with delight at the sight of Sue Wee Pig & Ugly Pig Races; the Time Traveling Medicine Magic Show and Paul Bunyan Stilt Walker & Juggling Show.

Did you know... The United States’ most popular bait for fishing actually comes from Canada? The Canadian Nightcrawler’s wiggly worth reflects in over 600 million worms imported every year! That’s some pretty important imports, wouldn’t you agree? Hooked on This Week in the Poconos Fun Facts? We’ll keep digging for more!
