Timber Tina's Great Maine Lumberjack Show
Fittingly, green and red are the team colors as checked-shirted lumberjacks—and lumberjills—logroll, axe throw, chop, climb, and saw: the 1¼-hour show’s whimsical forest-ringed setting and cheery, larger-than-life master of ceremonies Timber Tina are as magical and fun as Christmas morning. From the covered bleachers you'll laugh and learn as the former Survivor TV show contestant engages the crowd, invites kids up to the stage to saw, and prompts and cajoles competitors—most compete on college lumberjack sports teams. Growing up in Hayward, Wisconsin, home of the Lumberjack World Championships, Tina performed in her family's lumberjack show as a kid and has competed and performed worldwide. Like her home state, as she shares during the 12-event “Olympics of the Forest,” Maine is a lumbering center that in centuries past relied on lumberjacks' brawn to cut down trees and move logs downriver. Many died on the job, but that didn't stop the survivors from plying their skills for some competitive fun after the work was done. Shows are at 7 pm nightly in summer.
