attended Chainsaw Rendezvous 2013 yesterday

My friend Christine and I walked around Ridgway Pennsylvania yesterday, Ridgway is also the county seat of our county of Elk.  Ridgway is a wonderful historic town full of life in their history and also the energies of the people very active in preserving and continuing it's viability for generations.
One such event, The Chainsaw Rendezvous, has been very beneficial in helping the town's economy in February.  With it's wide variety of international talent the Rendezvous draws in tourists from all over the world.
