63rd Tuolumne Lumber Jubilee

The “Bull of the Woods”- This rarely seen event features two competitors standing toe to toe, duking it out until one of them is knocked off the log on which they are standing. Our lumber jubilee is one of the only shows in the country that still carries out this event and the people of Tuolumne are very proud to continue the tradition.
