A week ago I took a mini-vacation to
Hope, BC. It is only about an hour and forty-five minute drive from Mom's place in Bellingham. That makes it an excellent destination for me. Years ago, Wayne and I landed at the
Hope Airpark to camp after attending the
Abbotsford Airshow. This trip was a solo getaway by car.

Hope boasts that it is the Chainsaw Carving Capital of the World. That must be true. Everywhere around town you'll find fabulous sculptures.

Here's a nice video by showing the results of the 2012 Chainsaw Championships. Looks like the 2013 event has been cancelled. I'm not sure why.
I plan to return when skies are sunny to get some even better shots. -- Margy

ReplyDeleteYes Fran, it is amazing that such a large tool can do such intricate work. I was sad to hear the contest was cancelled for this year. I would have liked to attend.
