It’s a special day for Richard Kinard.

Rain or shine, Richard Kinard can be found at his woodshed.

The former logger, turned documentary film star, turns 80 today.

Now you might ask, how does one celebrate their 80th birthday? For Richard it’s simple. Splitting firewood while friends and family drop by to show their love and appreciation for the father of seven and grandfather to twenty-four.

If you’re in the area, or have to pass by Kinard Hill, then make sure to drop in or simply honk your horn to let Richard know you’re thinking about him.
