The Sawmill Days recaptures the flavor of life in a sawmill village with a wide variety of events.

Featured during the festival are an old fashioned jamboree of country, western, bluegrass, and gospel music, a flea market, folk arts and crafts, horse and wagon rides, square dancing, food, horse shoe pitching, fiddlin', and numerous other games and contests with prizes.

Sawmill Days is a homecoming for former residents of Fisher as well as former residents of new extinct sawmill towns. It is also the annual reunion of alumni from Fisher High School, which closed in 1946. Reminiscing spans the years as some have seen oxen and mules give way to tractors and today's skidders. The cross cut saw relinquished the stage to chain saws and hydraulic shearing machines. They've also heard the rhythmic pulsing of the shotgun log carriage and awakened, gone to work and returned home at the command of the mill whistle.
