The award was presented to Kelly Kimball at the FRA Lake States Region Annual Meeting held virtually earlier this month.
Located in Park Rapids, Minnesota, Kimball’s Logging received a cherry and walnut wooden crosscut saw plaque from FRA, and an MS 462 chain saw gift certificate and $250 check provided by STIHL.
In accepting the award, Kelly Kimball recognized his wife Shelly, and sons Justin and Zach, both of whom work on the Kimball’s Logging crew. In addition, Kimball thanked all the company’s hardworking employees for his success in the logging business.
Earlier in the year, Kimball’s Logging was also recognized as the Minnesota Sustainable Forestry Initiative Logger of the Year.
Kimball’s Logging can trace its roots in the logging/sawmill business back to the first settlers from Europe, nearly 400 years ago. The first Kimball’s came over from England in 1634, making wagon wheels. The Kimball family spread out from there: north to Maine, and gradually west to Wisconsin, and then to Minnesota.
