Here’s Why You Need to Attend the Springhill Lumberjack Festival
In 1896, the Bodcaw Lumber Company opened up its sawmill operation with approximately fifty employees.
Bodcaw also built twenty five homes for its sawmill workers in the area just west of the mill still referred to as "Sawmill Town."
With the town's roots firmly planted in the timber industry of North Louisiana, it's only fitting to recognize those humble beginnings, and since 1984, that's exactly what Springhill has done with the annual Springhill Lumberjack Festival.
This year's festival, which is the 40th Annual event, will take place on Saturday, October 12, and is expected to be one of the biggest ever!
Just look at the incredible reasons why you certainly don't want to miss out on this one!

According to the Springhill Lumberjack Festival website, this year's event will feature loads of live music including the sounds of King Orchard and Haughton, Louisiana's own Caden Wilson.
