The Ohio Forestry Association's annual Paul Bunyan Show was held Oct. 4 to 6 at the Guernsey County Fairgrounds in Cambridge, Ohio.

Billed as the "Original American Forestry Show," this year's event marked the show's 62nd year. As an interesting side note, according to Ohio Forestry Association President, Adam Conway, there is more timber growing in Ohio today than when the show first began in 1957.

The Paul Bunyan Show featured a wide range of educational sessions, live equipment and skill demonstrations as well as competitive events conducted throughout the three-day event. The main attractions however, were the latest equipment, products and services related to all aspects of the forestry industry presented by more than 140 exhibitors. Major show sponsors for 2019 included Columbus Equipment Company, John Deere, Murphy Tractor & Equipment and Rudd Equipment Company and Stihl.

The Ohio Forestry Association is an independent, not-for-profit trade organization serving Ohio's dynamic forestry and forestry related industries.
