Lagers & Lumberjacks

Put on your flannel, grab a mug, and join us on Saturday September 21, 2024, at 4 PM for an evening of lumberjack competitions, craft beer, live music, food, and fun! Watch as up to 15 semi-professional lumberjacks compete in six different events for cash prizes, as administered by members of the Pennsylvania Professional Lumberjack Organization. Straub Brewery of St. Marys, PA, will be on-site to serve a variety of their beers for attendees to enjoy. Live music will be performed by The Hey!Makers, and two food trucks will be serving tasty eats. Try your hand at using a 2-person crosscut saw or throw some hatchets with quick instruction provided by museum personnel.

Tickets to the event provide access to the museum and all event activities listed above. Each ticket holder will also be provided with two drink tickets that are each redeemable for a draft beer from the selection of brews that Straub will bring to the event.

  • Doors will open for event attendees at 3:30 PM. All event attendees will be expected to leave the site promptly at the conclusion of the lumberjack competition events (Straub will stop all drink sales and service at 7PM); staff will need time to clean up and get home.
  • Attendees MUST be 21 years of age or older to purchase tickets, but those under the age of 21 will be permitted to attend if they are accompanied by a 21+ parent or legal guardian who has purchased admission. Attendees must provide a valid photo ID showing proof of age to receive an appropriately colored wrist band demonstrating to the Straub personnel that they are 21 or over and are eligible to be served alcoholic beverages. Guests under the age of 21 and Designated Drivers will be issued a different colored wrist band to demonstrate that they are not able to consume alcoholic beverages during the event.
  • If you purchase pre-sale tickets, you must be able to provide a copy of the confirmation email you received with your purchase to gain access to the event.
  • No outside alcoholic beverages may be brought on to the museum property or consumed by attendees or presenters at the event; only the alcoholic beverages provided by Straub Brewing are allowed. Attendees will receive and wear wrist bands to inform the Straub staff that they are valid ticket holders who are 21 years of age or older.
  • Attendees are encouraged to bring portable seating with them (i.e. lawn/folding/camp chairs, a blanket, etc.). A limited number of picnic tables will be available for seating in the lumberjack spectator area on a first-come, first-serve basis.
  • The lumberjack competition arena and competitor staging area will be roped-off from the rest of the museum grounds. Attendees will not be allowed beyond the ropes and for their own safety must stay out of these areas.
