National Railsplitting Contest -- Album 1

[Click on photos below to enlarge.]

The National Railsplitting Contest always starts out with a re-enactment of Abe christening the town in his name. Afterward, lots were drawn for logs and the splitting contest began.

Special awards were presented to Oliver Friedlein for years with the contest and to Gwen Tibbs for years of service as Railsplitting Festival treasurer.

The attendance prize went to Terri Haizdo. The quilt was won by Dr. Alyssa Schneider, and the Habitat for Humanity playhouse was won by April Boward.
