An amazing saw mill demonstration at the Pioneer Village. Well worth stopping be to see trees turned into boards under the power of a tractor.

The one in the straw hat and suspenders (that part was an intentional joke) is my 4th cousin Bill Tyner (He's the one standing closest to the drive belt). We are both descendants of John and Sarah Johnson, who had a farm where the fairgrounds are now. Inside the Pioneer Village building is a replica of their log cabin.
