August 10 - 19, 2012—Bill Johnston’s Pirate Days

Alexandria Bay, NY

Aye Maties! Turn back time to an era when pirates roamed the waters of the mighty St. Lawrence River. This 10 day event features children’s

activities daily, swordfighters, magicians, tall ship invasion of the Village each Saturday, live music, boat tours, and so much more. Grab your

pirate costume and join the fun!

August 17 - 19, 2012—2012 Woodsmen’s Field Days

Boonville Oneida County Fairgrounds

This is a rain or shine event! Forestry Exhibits, Parade, Fireworks, Greased Pole Climb, Beards Contest, Loader Contest, Lunberjack Contests,

and Demonstrations Throughout The Weekend.

The Woodsmen's Field Days, a nonprofit organization, was founded by the Rev. Frank Reed in 1948. Due to the support of its many volunteers,

(nearly 400) the Field Days have evolved into one of the predominant lumberjack contests in the United States today. Contestants come from as

far away as Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to compete in the lumberjack festivities, which are held the third weekend in August. In addi-

tion to the Woodsmen's contest on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, there are displays of various forestry related equipment, covering a wide variety

of interests from the professional logger to the occasional firewood cutter.

The primary goals of the Woodsmen's Field Days are promotion of the forest industry in general, and in keeping with the intent of Rev. Reed, the

lumberjack in particular, a vanishing breed of men. With these goals in mind we felt what better way to do so than establish a forum on the Infor-

mation Super Highway (the World Wide Web in particular), there by making related information available to anyone, any time, any place.
