Today marked a special day on campus. The annual Rick Russell Woodsman Tournament. I have volunteered the last four years, while being part of the process through my role in the Student Association. This year, rather than being a photographer or a timer, I judged the axe-throwing event. A very interesting way to spend the day. Did I mention we got hit with a massive snow storm? Despite upwards of 30 cm of snow on the road, and drifting as high as 1m we had stands full of people eager to cheer on some quality lumberjacking. Heave ho!
This is a photo of one of the competitors during the highly anticipated, crowd favourite...
WATER BOIL.
Basically in this event, an individual prepares a cedar log to boil a litre of water. The first individual with a boiling can wins. You should really check out the event on youtube, but this photo does demonstrate the dramatic nature of the event.
Big shout out to friends Julie, and Geoff for organizing such a wonderful event from the student side. You lovely people are going to be missed!
