Come and see the amazing artistic ballet the carvers perform with a dangerous, awkward and powerful tool.. The carvers' incredible skill and precision are sure to captivate young and old alike! The Chainsaw Fiesta will be held on the North end of the field, look for the tents with the buzz of chainsaws and where the chips are flying. The Chainsaw Fiesta is held to benefit the Make A Wish Foundation of New Mexico.
