The 62nd Annual Mid-Sierra Loggers Jamboree July 2nd & 3rd 2022

“It’s A Loggers Life for Me“

This event, annually located at the North Fork Recreation Center, pays tribute to the loggers of time past and those still keeping the tradition alive today. Participants in the Jamboree help us appreciate and honor the loggers craft and hard work, while keeping us entertained throughout the competition. All proceeds from the Jamboree go into The North Fork Boosters General Fund to keep local facilities, programs, and events going year after year. In between the competition’s events there are local food vendors and crafts to purchase, and if you feel the need to cool off then head down to the swimming area for a dip. For more information about this year’s event please take a look at this year’s Chips Program.

Loggers Jamboree Queen

It wouldn’t be a a Loggers Jamboree without a Queen! Every year a young woman from the community is crowned for their exceptional fundraising abilities. These dedicated and hopeful Queens-to-be will sell Loggers Jamboree Raffle tickets to raise money for the North Fork Boosters beginning in May at the Loggers Jamboree Kick-Off Dinner/Dance at Town Hall.  Requirements for entry:  Girls ages 13-18 years, single, no children.  Contact Jennifer  Casner-Fitzwater at (559) 676-7648 for more information.

If you are a previous Loggers Jamboree Queen and have pictures, we would love to put them on the site!

Little Princess and Little Logger

Our Little Princess and Little Logger are the most adorable part of the Jamboree! Children in the community ages 2-6 years are qualified to sell Loggers Jamboree raffle tickets with their family.  This competition is comparatively new to our others, but with the overwhelming amount of cute kids in the community we had to do something!  Contact Cathey Thornburg at (559) 676-7766 for more information.

Loggers Jamboree Parade

On Saturday there is the Loggers Jamboree Parade going through North Fork’s Main street. If you are interested in having a float in this year’s parade please complete the Parade Form and email it to summit.gardenss@gmail.com.

Contact Amanda DeMasters at (559) 676-2071 for more information.

The Wood Chopper’s Ball

Be sure not to miss out, the Ball is a great time for everyone.  On Saturday night visitors and locals come together to dance the night away.  Located at the Rec. Center and starting at 8 pm the Wood Chopper’s Ball is meant for anyone who likes foot stompin’ music, hootin’ and hollering!  In North Fork we always have our dancing shoes on!  Come join us and enjoy the music.

Presale tickets will be available until July 3rd.
