A recurring show every year at the Ohio State Fair, the timber show is always a fun way to pass the time. Located in the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) area in the fair grounds, this comedy competition is great for all ages.

Jam packed with logging sports with a little bit of comedy thrown in, the 30 minutes for the show go by fast. Plenty of seating can be found around the stage area, so whenever visiting the Ohio State Fair – make sure to stop by and lend your support to the performers at the Great Lakes Timber Show.

While we were there we got to see the 2 man sawing competition as well as the log rolling competition.
