Thanks for sending this one in. This is a great image of the Ax Throwing contest from this year’s Lumber Jack Days. We think there should be an Ax throwing contest 4 times a year. If readers have any additional photos, please send them in by emailing them to us at: bouldercreekinsider@gmail.com

Sorry Boulder Creek, this week nearby Felton just takes the cake . . .. From the crime log.
April 22
Three men from Salinas met another man in Felton and stole more than 1 pound of marijuana at gunpoint. Deputies responded to the scene and conducted a high-risk traffic stop at the corner of Highway 9 and Graham Hill Road at 9 p.m. The deputies discovered the marijuana and two loaded firearms in a backpack, and the driver was found with a concealed dagger hanging from his neck.
March 22
A woman reported at 6:50 p.m. that her ex-boyfriend called her cell phone 160 times and put water in the oil and gas tanks of her vehicle in Felton. (editor’s note – it MUST be love)
LumberJack Days – an annual Boulder Creek event – will be held this weekend and honestly it is a great time and not to be missed. There will be food and other activities and of course, the LumberJack Games, which test the skill and speed of our chainsaw-wielding BC neighbors. Events include a tree slicing race with different classes of chainsaws from “stock” to modified.
Is the guy parked out front of that store on Highway 9 selling firewood a real tree man?.. or is he just selling drugs out the back of his truck? Come this weekend to see the real lumberjacks show their skill.
A town like Boulder Creek needs a killer place to grab beer, wine and liquor. Luckily, Boulder Creek Liquor fits the bill. With an amazing selection of wine, liquor, fine whiskeys and beer all for a fair price, Boulder Creek Liquor is the place to go to find your poison. Boulder Creek Liquor also has fresh flowers out front – very smart – as any attached dude knows, if you come home with 3 bottles of Jack Daniels, a MudSlide shooter and a case of beer in one hand, you better have a bouquet of daisies in the other.
Just as important as the selection and prices – the staff – BCL has a #1 crew of very cool folks working there. A special shout out to the “Sage of BC” Chuck!

April 11
A pit bull broke from its leash and attacked another pit bull that was walking by at 1:49 p.m. on the 100 block of Pool Drive in Boulder Creek. An altercation between the owners ensued, and one of the owners fell to the ground, breaking his hip. His dog was stabbed with a knife to stop it from attacking the other dog.
