Paul Bunyan Days celebrates 80 years in Fort Bragg (photos)

MENDOCINO Co., 9/4/19 — Paul Bunyan Days began in 1939 in Fort Bragg, and the Labor Day weekend events have brought joy to residents every year since. This year, Paul Bunyan Days ended a long weekend that included fire department hose fights, a Belle of the Redwoods contest, Friends of the Library Book Sale, Gem and Mineral Show, Logging Show, Ugliest Dog Contest (with many categories such as smartest, pretties and Frisbie Dog), Old Fashioned Dress Review, and Kangaroo Kort “arrests.”

The Labor Day parade featured floats with labor unions, mermaids, the Lions Club and the Rotary Club, shriners, the Fort Bragg mayor, a group calling for awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, including Khadijah Britton, and more. Here’s some photos of this year’s events; you check out the 2018 photos here.
