One week later, riding on the crest of that good fortune, the Foresters returned to Monticello for the Annual Field Day, held on March 7.

The winners of Field Day events were: Archery — Buddy Turner; Chaining — Mike Pinkett; Knife Throwing — Gerald Cayce; Axe orestry Throwing — Nicky Smith; Bow Sawing — Roger McClendon; Log Chopping — Rocky Dilks; ‘Jack and Jill’ Crosscut Sawing — the team of Pam Shirley and Roger McClendon; Men’s Crosscut — Buddy Hale Steve Gough; Women’s Crosscut — Kim Walker Kathy Hicks; Log Rolling — Ronnie ‘Rollo’ Parsley Buddy Hale; Po le Climbing — Gerald Cayce; Birling — Jim Tadel; Pole Felling — Steve ABOVE: Jim Tadel demonstrates winning form in log birling.
