The 62nd Annual Mid-Sierra Loggers Jamboree July 2nd & 3rd 2022
The North Fork Boosters Club would like to thank the participants, patrons, and sponsors of the 62nd Annual Mid-Sierra Loggers Jamboree! 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. Check out this years edition of the Chips Program for more information about this years event! Congratulations to this years winners!
