The Maidu Summit Consortium is hosting The Big Time Logging Jamboree with sponsor Collins Pine on June 1 at Chester Park in Chester from noon to 5:00 pm. “We are expecting a great turnout this year to enjoy the competitions and learn about MSC and the projects we are working on in Plumas County,” says Misty Salem, finance and community engagement coordinator.
The event opens with a Maidu song and prayer, features 12 competitive events with cash prizes, and $1,000 award for the best logger sponsored by Ace Hardware. Businesses can enter an Axe Throw for some friendly competition amongst one another and for bragging rights. A variety of food and craft vendors awaits attendees to be enjoyed with a beverage hosted by The Almanor Foundation. Admission is free. For more information, call 530.258.2299, email [email protected], or visit www.maidusummit.org.
Our mission is to preserve, protect, and promote the Mountain Maidu Homeland with a united voice. The Maidu Summit Consortium envisions re-acquired ancestral lands as a vast and unique park system dedicated to the purposes of education, healing, protection, and ecosystem management based upon the Maidu cultural and philosophic perspectives, as expressed through traditional ecology.
