Halifax County, VA Heritag Festival Pics & Videos

Here are some pictures and videos taken of the chainsaw exhibit that Dean Coates, David Harsh, and I (Mitchell Martin) had at the 6th anual Halifax County Heritage Festival. We had quite a few saws and logs to demonstrate with. I brought 8 of my saws listed in my sig, Dean brought 5 two-man saws and about 8 one-man saws, and David Harsh brought a small portion of his poulan chainsaws, including his model 44 two-man with a bow bar. We had a 30" piece of white oak and two pieces of poplar that measured in excess of 36".





Here is Dean and I cutting with one of his DA-211s.

Here is some of my saws. I think that the Pro Mac 700 and the SP125 make a great pair.

Another pic of Dean and I running one of his DA-211s.

David and Dean are running this DA-211 while I adjusted on the carb. Dean had it running way to rich at first.

This is a cool rack that David displayed some of his poulans on.

Dean and I cutting with a DA-211 while Guy Seat leans on the log. I think he was holding the top of the slab that we were cutting off. There was a pretty good crowd watching.

David running his Super Wiz 66 with a bow bar and Dean running his Poulan 53 with a bow bar.

Another pic of Dean and I running one of his DA-211s.

Ray Owen with his Jonsered 70E racing against me and my Pro Mac 700.

David Harsh racing one of his Poulan gear-drives against my Pro Mac 700.

Dean's Mall 6 and Mall 7H along with some of his one-man saws.

Dean and I running his Mall 7h.

Me running my SP125C with a 36" bar.

Dean running his Homelite 9-23.

David Harsh racing his Stihl 090 against me and my SP125C. He may have won if he were running the same bar and chain as I, but he didn't.

Where was this? I'm from that area and have cousins, aunts and uncles that live in Halifax and South Boston. I even own a peice of property near Clarksville. This looks like an annual event, so please update with info if you can for next years event. Would like to work it in the schedule. Or PM me with any information you think might be interesting. Thanks!

It's always held the weekend before Mother's Day. I think that I posted it on here earlier to tell people about it. There is another event coming this October, I was told, in Oxford, NC. Dean talked to the guy and I think that they will have room for us. David Harsh came from Amilia, VA to cut with us and show some of his saws. It would have been great to have had you there. PM me with your info so we can keep in touch. Maybe you could ride up one weekend and see mine and Dean's saws.
