RANGELEY – Saturday, July 28, marks the celebration of the 32nd annual Rangeley Logging Festival & Parade.

State and Federal dignitaries will be on hand to help honor this area’s long-held tradition of working in the woods. After the parade The Rangeley Lakes Region Logging Museum will host the Logging Festival at the museum grounds at 221 Stratton Road just outside of Rangeley.

A new draw to the festival this year is the “Great Maine Lumberjack Show” with Timber Tina and the LumberJills coming from Ellsworth. Pairing this with a newly-formatted woodsmen’s competition will provide entertainment for attendees all afternoon. This is a great opportunity for vendors since there is virtually a guaranteed audience as festival goers come to the museum for the traditional bean hole dinner right after the parade and stay to enjoy the festivities.

The date also coincides with the Travis Tritt concert later that evening at the Wellness Pavilion.

Spaces are 10-feet by 10-feet plus elbowroom for $25 per space. There are a few spaces with electricity for $35. Overall there are limited spaces available, so reserve early. Set up starts at 8 a.m. and hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no rain date for this event. Contact Tom or Carol Sullivan at 864-3640 or carol@foxrunstudios.com for more details and a vendor’s application. Deadline for entries is July 20.
