Quasimodem said:The only involvement with the timber industry that I see as being still in existence in Snippettsville is The Annual Snippettsville Lumberjack Competition (Name Tentative) , each fall.
Not unlike the Calgary's Stampede, the city grew beyond its cowboy roots, the cattle industry changed from range to lot feeding, and that region developing as large a presence in the petrochemical industry as in the cattle industry.
One more thought about the Lumberjack Competition:
Where is the Snippets County Fairground?
The Clark County Fairgrounds are in a small town about 25 miles from Las Vegas and the county fairgrounds around the west are often still in small towns, rather than in the county seat or othe big cities. Some western counties have established newer Fairgrounds in bigger cities to improve attendance and profitablitity, but many have kept the "traditional" fairgrounds where they were first established.
So, are the Snippet County Fairgrounds still in Snippetsville, or are there some "Old Fairgrounds" in Snippetsville that need to be shown on one of the Maps.
Either might be a suitable venue for a stop on the Lumberjack Competition circuit -- and other events or traveling shows, like carnivals or one of the very few circuses still traveling with a Big Top (like the one that sets up in the casino parking lot across the street from me every six months and has sound system speakers bigger than my apartment. )
Is the City Park the 'Old Fairgrounds'? If Snippetsville hosts the County Fair each year, the Fairground would probably be separate from the City Park, although it might be close by.
(in other words, just where might the Lumberjack Competition Venue be and what else goes on there?)
