Established in 1975, the Payson Sawdust Festival is fondly remembered as one of the most exciting outdoor events in Arizona.  Contestants will participate in a variety of events that will test their accuracy, skill and endurance.  At the end of the two-day event the logger with the most points will receive the coveted “Logger of the Year” award, along with other cash and prizes.  There is something for everyone at the Payson Loggers Sawdust Festival, especially the kids, including a large sawdust pit with money and lots of prizes.  For example this year Coca Cola is giving away a $500 Money CD to a lucky child that will go towards their college education.  For a complete list of events for kids and all other participants click here.
