The Webster County Woodchopping Festival

The Webster County Woodchopping Festival Each Memorial Day weekend, woodchoppers from around the world compete for the Southern U.S. World Championship title in Webster Springs, WV.

This festival is a natural outgrowth of Webster County's timbering heritage. The sport of Wood Chopping, was born in the mountain logging camps as young men sought to entertain themselves showing off their skill and endurance. All-Around Champion Arden Cogar, Sr., a native of Webster County is one of the many local legends who has helped build the festival. He began competing in 1956 and has since won 47 championship titles in the US and Australia.
