Old Mill Days schedule
Mill Days
Continued from page 2 four 300-pound ice sculpture carvings every day. “It’s art in motion,” Miller said. “These carvers are performing artists.” Indeed. Consider Conrad Sandoval of Brandon, Ore. He holds the world record for the highest valued art piece carved in 1 hour 15 minutes: $2,025. According to an online biography, the former logger and carpenter began sculpting wood with a chainsaw professionally so he had the freedom to travel and minister to people, especially the homeless. His wife, Justine, and son, Steven, also carve professionally and work to help children get out of human trafficking. Sandoval specializes in bears and eagles, but one carving that is especially meaningful to him is “The Last Supper,” which he donated for an auction benefiting St. Joseph’s School in Crescent City, Calif.

The industry that made Port Gamble
Old Mill Days celebrates the industry that put Port Gamble on the map. Timber was king here for 150 years, and lumber milled here helped build homes and cities throughout the Pacific Rim. “When we did our 150th anniversary in 1999, before we were doing festivals in town, we did a logging show,” Port Gamble general manager Shana Smith said. “We had the climbing poles, log rolling. It fit well then, and it still does now.” Old Mill Days begins Sept. 28 at 3 p.m. with Competition Speed
