Hundreds enjoy Timberfest in Bothwell

Bothwell was buzzing this weekend thanks to Timberfest.

Hundreds of people from across Chatham-Kent visited the community, getting the chance to see wood sculptures made in front of them.

Fourteen chainsaw carvers from across Canada and the U.S. took part in the event, with some making different animals out of wood. This included bears and eagles.

Each sculpture was auctioned off on Sunday.

Meanwhile, one of the art pieces that drew a lot of attention was a painting made with chainsaws.
