GOOD TIMES!

Instructor Joe Glenn (#63) and assistant Dan Schmoker (white beard) pose with their class of eleven chainsaw students at the Dixon Springs Ag Center last week during a break. Many of the participants had never run a saw before, but were anxious to learn. On the second day each student had to discuss and make a plan for a tree to cut, perform the cut, and then be critiqued by the instructor and the class. These eager beavers managed to discuss and cut sixteen trees in one day, even though we had about three hours of classroom instruction, too. We will be doing a second session with this group in May to complete their training. Stihl graciously donated three hardhats, three sets of chainsaw chaps, and a set of cut resistant mitts for this occasion. Thank You, Stihl! More pictures and some video of the good times will be posted here in the days ahead, so check back.
