The competition was fierce, as usual during the Sept. 9 Loggers Playday in Hoquiam.

One competitor came a bit too quickly down his tree during the climbing competition and clearly injured his knee. He, of course, continued competing. As did a young man in the choker setting competition who pushed himself a little too hard at the end of the course and fell forward onto the log obstacle and seemed to knock the wind out of himself.

A log rolling exhibition by Jim Dodge and Jenny Owens was a hit, and the ladies on the Playday court got a crash course that ended with all of them soaked head to toe.

Complete results were not available Monday, but Rob Waibel took the overall title and Johnny Boggs took the local high points logger title. Waibel, a professional logging competitor who hails from West Linn, Ore., has now taken the overall title seven times outright and shared the title once with Brian Bartow in 2013 since his first win in 1992. Full results will be posted soon.

Earlier in the day, hundreds braved a soggy afternoon and took in the annual parade in downtown Hoquiam. Dozens of entries walked the route, with the loaded log trucks and the Hoquiam High School marching band among the crowd favorites.
