The Ledge Games (TLG), a local timber competition for charity, returns to Red Cabin at Green Acres on Saturday, September 30, 2023, for its eighth year of competition. Each year the event welcomes hundreds of spectators and more than 100 amateur lumberjacks and jills, who compete for the titles of Man and Woman of the Ledge.

Competition will test both competitors’ strength and finesse with events including caber toss, hammer toss, recurve archery, keg toss, speed chop and axe throwing. The winner of each event
will claim a TLG axe, and the winners of each division take home a new chainsaw and a year’s worth of bragging rights. Spectators will enjoy a day filled with flannel, fun and friendly competition.

“We’re excited to welcome everyone back to Red Cabin at Green Acres for our eighth consecutive year of competition” Tyler Oestreich, The Ledge Games co-founder, said. “It’s been an honor to
watch The Ledge Games grow as we continue to support local technical education.”

Since 2016, The Ledge Games and its long list of sponsors have raised more than $55,000 for 92 scholarships – helping make education more accessible and affordable for local students studying
engineering, manufacturing, technology and related fields.

“Industries like manufacturing, agriculture and construction are the backbone of Wisconsin’s economy, and local technical education helps support and develop the next generation,” Josh
Michels, The Ledge Games co-founder, said. “The Ledge Games and our dedicated sponsors are proud to support local students as they develop the skills and tools needed to push these industries
forward.”

The Ledge Games kick off at 8:00 a.m. with events running until approximately 4 p.m. In addition to the lumber competition, TLG offers food, drinks, raffles, entertainment and fun for the whole family.
