It’s been five years since Tony and I took over the Minnesota State Log Rolling Championships from Jenny and Neil Atkinson. Not ever being in charge of a log rolling tournament before and only having been to them, it was nerve-wracking guessing how it would turn out.
The answer is we couldn’t do it without all of the parents who bring their kids and young adults to roll and help us. A lot goes into the tournament: from putting up the tank and taking it down to making the brackets, judging, timing, announcing, photo taking, hauling logs to and from the Y etc. We are truly thankful you make this tournament so fun!
The following people have contributed a tremendous amount of their time and talent to seeing that this event goes off without a hitch: Todd and Denise Diethert, Chris and Jennifer Serpico, Shayna and Rich Magnone, Amanda and Dave Plummer, Silvia Duclos, Julie Colby, Jeff Koblitz, John Papadopolous, Jenny and Neil Atkinson, Joanie Davenport.
To all the sponsors, thank you so much for all your donations. Sponsors include Northstar Cabling, Studio 61 Hair Design, TimberWolff Realty, Glenn Peterson Construction, Sven and Ole’s, Cook County YMCA, and North Coast Towing.
I would also like to thank the Grand Marais Lions Club for your donation and helping us put on a great tournament.
Thank you to everyone who comes to watch these great rollers – they love to show and teach everyone about the sport of log rolling and love to hear the cheers! We look forward to next year to be bigger and better!
Tony and Andrea Everson
