Can you throw like a girl? Paul Bunyan Days says “A.W.W.W” to all Fort Bragg resident ladies. As sweet as that sounds, what it stands for is anything but – Ax-Wielding Women Wanted. This year’s Paul Bunyan Days will feature a women-only Ax Throwing competition and other logger events to be held Sunday, September 5, 2010.

Ever wonder what kind of ax is used in ax-throwing? Watch this video to hear local and returning contestant, Gary Richards, explain. My personal favorite quote “and this one I kind of designed for the kids to throw”.

All locals are invited to enter the logging competitions by going to their website http://www.paulbunyandays.com/page2.html.

20 ft Axe Throw
Single Buck Handsaw
Hand Chopping
Choker Setting Obstacle
