2nd Annual Bluegrass Chainsaw Showdown Fundraiser Returns to Western Kentucky

It's back! The Bluegrass Chainsaw Showdown is returning to Owensboro, where contestants will display their skills in chainsaw carving. The community is invited to watch the sawdust fly as competitors transform a log into a striking piece of art. Because finished pieces will sell directly to the public we're asking which wood sculpture you'd like to see carved. Be sure to save the date.

The inaugural Bluegrass Chainsaw Showdown was a huge success raising $3,000 for Christmas Wish! Listen to B.J. and Heather Raymer make the check presentation at the season headquarters on December 11th, 2023.

2ND ANNUAL BLUEGRASS CHAINSAW SHOWDOWN

Eleven of the most masterful chainsaw carvers from different states are coming to town! For the main event, the carvers interpret their 8-foot log limited to 20 work hours. The carvers compete in 2 quick carve competitions, limited to 1 hour. The 3-day event will take place at the Holiday Inn Owensboro Riverfront.

The Showdown happens on Friday, November 8th. It will resume on Saturday, November 9th. The final day of the competition will be held on Sunday, November 10th. Each day there will be artist sculptures for sale, auctions, and much more! It's a weekend you'll never forget.

CHOOSE SCULPTURES TO BE CARVED

Because finished pieces will sell directly to the public, we're asking which wood sculpture you'd like to see carved.
