The Vernonia Friendship Jamboree & Logging Show is a 3-day, city-wide event that reunites old friends and introduces new ones to Vernonia. The event is based around our annual Logging Show that keeps alive the spirit of logging in our community.

We strive to have a variety of food and merchandise booths, family fun activities, and entertainment.

Selection Process

Our 2024 Vendor Application period begins February 1st and ends July 26th, 2024. Vendors will be selected based on the number of spaces available and type of food or merchandise that is offered.
