Taxiarchis village | Central Halkidiki

On Saturday, September 14, 2024, the 5th Logging Championship will be organized in Halkidiki under the auspices of the Municipality of Polygyros. The event will take place at the Apolymeni Petra Resort, located in the heart of Holomontas, near the mountainous Taxiarchis, 20 minutes away from Polygyros, Halkidiki.

With its distinctive character and faithful to its annual rendezvous, the nationwide Logging Championship promises to once again offer a festive day of logging activities, aiming to highlight the need for forest and environmental protection.

The championship will include a “track” with 4 events:

• Limbing

• Double-sided log cutting

• Precision vertical cut: cutting without touching the lower part of the wood with the saw

• Cube removal from a log: precise cutting of a wooden cylindrical structure to create a square box

The top 3 participants in the events will be awarded big prizes from Husqvarna. Husqvarna prizes will also be given to the spectators through raffles, and all participants and attendees will receive commemorative participation gifts.

As in previous years, alongside the championship and competitions, attendees will have the opportunity to watch parallel thematic activities, such as a live wood carving demonstration by the talented wood sculptor, Angelos Patsiatzis, who will create unique works of art using chainsaws. Additionally, there will be a live Arborist Show by Giannis Harbilas, as well as a mushroom soup cooking and tasting session with Nikos Athanasiadis.

Admission is free for the public, who will have the chance to enjoy the intensity of the competitions in a unique event. All spectators will enter a raffle where two winners will receive exclusive Husqvarna prizes.

The championship will be broadcast live via YouTube and the company’s social media.

We look forward to welcoming you all for a unique experience full of excitement, suspense, and amazing prizes!
