Frank and Fred Thompson, twin brothers from Baker, Minn. will again be demonstrating their skill at chainsaw carving at this year’s Potato Days celebration.

They have spent their lives farming together and now are sharing a unique hobby - carving bears, pelicans, eagle, loons, swans, parrots, moose, benches and “Spuds," among other things.  They use chainsaws to carve their creations out of pine logs.  They are willing to try most any request – they love a challenge!  The largest thing they have carved is a 9 ft. bear that stands at a North Dakota lake. 

They carve at least one item during the Festival and their “Country Critters” are on display and available during the Potato Days Festival. Check our Schedule of Events for times to catch their demonstrations.
