❗️Carving door prize announcement:

Since the carving event ended, I’ve been covered up and busy! But there’s still one thing for this event I need to do. The Pine level sponsor on my sponsorship form is for an entry to be drawn for a carving!
Stay tuned, within the next few days there will be a winner!

What it’s all about! 🔵🔴

YSB had a great time attending the 2026 Jay County Chainsaw Carving Invitational!

The Jay County Chainsaw Carving Event is a unique experience. Throughout the weekend, spectators have the opportunity to watch skilled artists take ordinary logs and, with incredible precision and creativity, transform them into something extraordinary.

YSB was honored to serve as the 2026 event sponsor and to be part of a weekend that brought talented chainsaw artists, vendors, and community members together at the Jay County Fairgrounds.

We are especially grateful to Myles Nasby and the other participating carvers for donating a portion of the auction proceeds to YSB. Their willingness to share the proceeds from their hard work is a wonderful example of community spirit and generosity.

🔴🔵 Well year number three is in the books! And check this out! Jay County’s own, Myles Nasby won first place this year! His Sasquatch brought highest auction total. Now, time to figure up the numbers and GIVE BACK to the Youth Services Bureau!
A big thank you to the carvers, the community in attendance, all of the sponsors, 260 Events, the vendors, food trucks, the Jay County Fair, and the team of Loy’s Auction! Without every one of you, an event like this would be tough to pull off!
Thank you all.
