SDC had a lumberjack show of sorts in the early 80s...log rolling on the big pond in front of the waterfall at the lumbercamp. "Tiny" Doolittle, who also is known as Richard Young...was the host of the show. Those folks who did the log rolling were talented, and it was popular with the crowds.

The SDC lumberjacks were a great show, and it did always draw a good crowd. I cannot say that I have seen log rolliong anywhere else! In 1999, Silver Dollar City was the site for the 14th annual Stihl Timbersports Series at Echo Hollow.
