Events Information 2011

In a lighthearted, competitive spirit, four lumberjacks race to out-climb, out-saw, out chop and out-throw each other  in a number of events.

The speed at which these men move is astounding … one glance away from the 40 foot climbing pole and the lumberjack will already have shimmied to the top and be on his way down.

Can you imagine trying to keep your balance on a 17” diameter wet rolling log while someone is trying to knock you off.  These men can do it in the joisting competition… with a lot of splashing , of course.

Vrroom!… rroom!…. loud and powerful, the mighty powersaw can cut through a wood block like butter. Grunt… Grunt… Grind…Grind… this is the two-man,
traditional “peg & raker” cross-cut saw, Watch them compete head to head.

Action, fun, old-fashioned family entertainment, the West Cost Lumberjack Show is a must at the Lumby Days 2011.  

After the parade on Saturday (approx 1:30 pm) there will be all kinds of outdoor activities for the kiddies.  Games, painting and artwork  plus don’t miss the Balloon Man shows on Saturday afternoon.  On Sunday the activities commence at 1pm.  Location is the area next to the preschool room at the Whitevalley Community Hall.

The Lumby Air Force Flying Club will again be hosting The 6th annual Lumby Air Races and they will take place in conjunction with Lumby Days again on June 10, 11 and 12th 2011. This year the new "Season Long Race" will also be starting Friday June 10th, during Lumby Days, will run for a full 3 months, and will see many great Hang Glider and Paraglider pilots from around the world competing in race format challenging the local, National and World records for 25k, 50k and 100kilometer triangle records.
