The show now <br />has 2 local Kittitas County "Hot -Saws"-- a V8 Ford, and Polaris Snowmobile. <br />• There is no admission fee for spectators at the High County Log Show.

The show continues to draw <br />additional competitors and spectators each year. <br />• This event is supported by the enthusiastic volunteers and local sponsors.
