The 34th annual Logging Festival parade
The 34th annual Logging Festival parade theme this year is Celebrating Rangeley’s Heritage. The festival continues through today at the Rangeley Lakes Region Logging Museum on Rt. 16.

RANGELEY – Spectators lined Main Street to watch the 34th annual Logging Festival parade on a cool and cloudy Saturday.

As a procession of small planes flew overhead, floats depicting various outdoor recreational activities to match the parade’s theme, Celebrating Rangeley’s Heritage, moved along Main Street with antique cars, horse groups and lots of big trucks.

Logging trucks, flat bed tractor trailers holding lumber, dump trucks and skidders, were joined by The Old Crow Band, performers and fire trucks. This year marked the 20th Anniversary that Elijah White, Sr. donated his Muscles One skidder to the Logging Museum.

After the parade, activities including the Lumber Jack & Jill Logging Competition will continue through Saturday afternoon until 3 p.m. at the Rangeley Lakes Region Logging Museum on Rt. 16 in Rangeley. For more info, go to www.rlrlm.org or 864-3939.
