After 19 years, log rollers returned to the city of Gladstone for this year’s Fourth of July with the US Log Rolling Open. In this photo from 1952, Billy Girard shows off his log rolling skills in the Gladstone harbor. Girard was the Roleo (log rolling) Event with Trick and Fancy champion in 1952 and also was the 1926 World Men’s Champion log roller.
