A logrolling is a community event where families got together for a combination of work and fun The women would bring food and have a much needed and infrequent opportunity to relax and chat with friends, the children would play together exuberantly, and the men would hold lively competitions that involved rolling logs from place to place as quickly as possible This was a day of fun for everyone involved, but as its foundation was the need to clear the land
