Details: The first FallFest came about as BeetleFest, as a way to educate the community on the devastating effect mountain pine beetles have had on the area’s forests and wilderness areas. What started as an idea for creating awareness grew into a full-blown day of fun and activities for the whole family.

Join us for a full day of activities from The DLM Timberworks Lumberjack show and live entertainment to a bug petting zoo, 4k beetle stomp, and bug slug. If you get tired from all the activity stopped by the informational and artist booths to see the latest in Beetle Kill products.

Why should I care about the mountain pine beetle?

If you've been on a road trip to Wyoming or Colorado recently you may have noticed a number of dead, or brown, pine trees. This isn't from a fire or old age, but a result of the devastating outbreak of mountain pine beetles in the Rocky Mountains. The mountain pine beetle will bore a hole into a pine tree, feed on the bark, lay eggs, and hibernate for the winter before moving on to new trees during the warmer summer months. The portion of the tree that the pine beetle feeds on destroys the flow of water and nutrients through the tree. It is thought that the effects of climate change have resulted in warmer winters giving pine beetles a higher probability of surviving. The most recent outbreaks of pine beetle have been tenfold previous outbreaks and the destruction is obvious.
