The track is located in Purvis, near Hattiesburg. We'll find out who can make it to the finish line.

Chainsaw Artist

Dayton Scroggins likes his “quiet time”. However he finds his quiet time while maneuvering a chainsaw. This award winning chainsaw carver has an incredible ability to turn a log or stump into a work of art. Wildlife seems to come to life from the wood as he fashions it with the saw. From bears, to dogs, and eagles, to humans, Dayton has done it all. We’ll join him as he works on a special turkey.

High School Fish Structures

Purvis High School students began a fundraising project and decided to design and build homes for fish. The whole class gets involved in constructing these structures. They are creating better habitat for fishermen across the state. It doesn’t take a lot of material to create these, but these great structures can really help to support a fish population. These kids have definitely found a great fundraiser.
