Forge, TN – August 2011 – Lumberjack Sports International’s Great Smoky
Mountain Lumberjack Feud will
host a benefit aimed at raising $50,000 for Helen Ross McNabb Center’s
Service County Services on Thursday, Aug. 25, 2011.
General
admission tickets are available to the public at $25 and include a show
at 7 p.m. Tickets are available to the public by calling 865-329-9120.
The
benefit takes place on Thursday, August 25, the eve of Lumberjack Feud’s
August 26 public grand opening. The $10 million, 34,000-square-foot Lumberjack
Feud arena will begin offering dinner shows every evening of the week,
with performances by world-champion ESPN lumberjack athletes.
The
Aug. 25 fund-raiser for Helen Ross McNabb Center will provide the public’s
first glimpse of Lumberjack Feud’s new facility and action-packed show,
which features thrills and competition while telling the story of two feuding
1930s Smoky Mountain logging families.
“We
are thrilled to have Lumberjack Feud’s support for this exciting fund-raiser
to benefit our Sevier County clinic, which just celebrated its one-year
anniversary,” said Shellie Hall, the assistant director of Sevier County
Services.

Helen
Ross McNabb Center’s Sevier County Services facility, located at 707 Dolly
Parton Parkway in Sevierville, Tenn., provides quality mental health care,
addiction treatment and social services for both adults and children in
Sevier County.
“Our
team feels especially proud to launch Lumberjack Feud (www.LumberjackFeud.com)
by directly benefiting such a respected and vital non-profit organization
as the Helen Ross McNabb Center,” said Lumberjack Sports International
President Rob Scheer, who was the first man to win the IRONJACK World Championship
and holds numerous world titles.
“Our
guests will see a show at Lumberjack Feud like no other – and we especially
look forward to seeing everyone’s creativity on August 25 with the ‘black-tie
with lumberjack attire’ dress code that has been set for the evening!”
Scheer said.
Based
on actual historical events of the 1930’s, the Lumberjack Feud dinner show
features thrills and competition while telling the story of two feuding
Smoky Mountain logging families competing for rights to log the last remaining
timber tract before the Great Smoky Mountains National Park closes the
region’s timber industry.
The
athletes will perform more than 10 different lumberjack sport events, including
tree-climbing, axe-throwing, chopping, sawing and log-rolling.
Located
at 2713 Parkway, in the heart of Pigeon Forge, between lights 3 and 4,
the attraction is sponsored by STIHL,
the number-one selling brand of chain saw worldwide.
