Competitive Performance
Notable
Penny and Rick are in the process of building a log home by themselves. They also designed the entire 30 x 60 log home by themselves. They milled the timber, cut the logs on their own sawmill, she does all the flooring (white pine floors), and she also does all the tiling. Basement went in at the end of February and the main structure is up.
Quotable
When asked if anything/one has discouraged her from competing Penny replied - "Do you want me to be brutally honest? Yes. I have fought so hard in this sport to make a place for the women and I'm really grateful that the Great Outdoor Games has included the women, that has been a very inspiring thing to see happen."
