Attend this unique Wood Festival event, hosted by Millers Rustic Sawmill in King City, Missouri. Check here for updates: Sawdust Fest Updates
Millers Rustic Sawmill is bringing you the fourth annual SAWDUST FEST on June 14, beginning at 8 a.m. Millers Rustic Sawmill is a small family business located in Northwest Missouri. The unique business specializes in custom projects built with kiln dried, live edge wood slabs produced right on their farm. You will find excellent quality live edge woods, plus expert skills to incorporate the beautiful pieces into your space with a custom, one-of-a-kind project. Many of the businesses customers are talented artisans which is how Sawdust Fest came about!
The owners of the sawmill, Bucky and Melissa, along with their son Carson, thought it would be pretty amazing to bring those talented artisans to their small town, have them set up and demonstrate their skills as well as inspire others who might want to try a creative form of making something with wood. SAWDUST FEST was created as a celebration of Missouri makers who use their hands to create a little sawdust while making beautiful, unique pieces of art. You won’t find another festival like this one!
Millers Rustic Sawmill will host several guest demonstrators/makers from Missouri such as TJ Jenkins, a chainsaw artist from Weston, MO. There will be a variety of artisans, including a scroll saw artist, luthier, blacksmith, pyrographer, mosaic sign maker, woodturner, knife maker, fiber artist, jewelry artist and more!
SAWDUST FEST will also feature the following activities:
- a morning jeep ride hosted by The Rusty Coffee Pot
- a best and worst beard contest, slated for 11 a.m.!
- live music
- old time photos
- a sawmill demonstration
- petting zoo
- kettle corn, plus other food and drinks
- This unique festival wouldn’t be complete without the popular Belt Sander Race! Yes…Belt Sanders! Racers will have the chance to run their belt sander down a 100ft track to beat their competition.
- The evening wraps up with an after-party and a live music performance by the talented Opry-performing band, The Hontz Family Band!
In addition, the local shops on Main Street will be open to roam through, and the little town’s atmosphere is sure to make you feel like you have stepped back in time. Sawdust Fest is a great way to spend the day in King City with friends and family! It’s a great day trip and a unique event for Father’s Day weekend. The neighbor town to the north – Stanberry, Missouri – will hold their annual Father’s Day Car Show on Sunday, June 15!
