SEQUIM — This will be the 16th year for the reinvigorated Logging Show at the annual Irrigation Festival — and it might be the last time the show takes place at its well-known location next to Carrie Blake Park.

Margaret Blake, who owns the land on Blake Avenue where the logging events take place, said recently that she’s decided against allowing the show to continue on her property after this year’s festival.

Organizers said Blake’s decision shouldn’t mean the end of the event.

It has become a popular Irrigation Festival fixture with its logging demonstrations, lawnmower races and truck and tractor displays.

“They’ve had an excellent logging show,” she said.

But Blake said she wasn’t very thrilled about people riding motorcycles and ATVs on the land.

In addition, some of the structures — such as the weathered wooden bleachers — aren’t as sturdy as they used to be.

“I’m worried about accidents,” she said.

Intended to be temporary

She also said the use of the land was originally supposed to be temporary.

The Lions Club sponsored the logging show when it started, she said, and her late husband was “a dedicated Lion.”

Blake said she doesn’t have firm plans for what she intends to do with the property.
