[Ted, 06/18/2015]- Central Point, Oregon - Big Logger Twins
The Big Logger Twins are still out at the Jackson County Fair Grounds in Central Point, Oregon right along I-5 just north of Medford. They are just huge and fun, perfect examples of Roadside America. The 7/18/09 Medford Mail Tribune had a column on the twins with some background.
"The 37 foot tall tin loggers, which were once used to advertise a now-defunct heavy equipment sales firm along Highway 99 near the Sage Road intersection in the 1940s, were moved to their present site at the Expo early in July 1994. The Bunyan Brothers were placed there as a symbol of the timber industry by the Eugene F. Burrill Lumber Co. of White City, the last independently owned lumber mill in Jackson Count. It closed in 1998"

He's a rare, semi-urban woodsman we've visited before. Not a Muffler Man, but an impressive ax wielder nonetheless. Stands across the street from George's Dancing Bare Exotic Lounge.
