Bill, I'll plug this on my page. I really hope the women come out for this. I wish I could but with Malaysia around the corner it is nearly impossible. Thanks for your continuous support for the women. Good luck!

I am getting pumped for my first ever tournament. Pieces are falling in place. BY REQUEST: We've added 5 kids classes, medals will be presented to the top 3 in each class. Classes will be determined by the entries, split up in 5 groups by age and weight. It's great to have Fat Gripz - The Thick Bar Training Secret Of The Pros (FatGripz.com) as part of our event! Fat Gripz are by far one of the greatest training tool for Arm Wrestlers out there! "We will be giving A SET OF FAT GRIPZ to EACH of the PRO CLASS WINNERS. Our good fortune continues as we have partnered with Toprollers Ltd. Inc. and will be offering 2 TOPROLLERS: 1 FOR THE KING AND 1 FOR THE QUEEN OF THE TABLE!! "The best Rolls like Toproller!! 1 TWISTED TEA CORN HOLE Game Boards and Bean Bags included!! 1 $50 BUFFALO WILD WINGS GIFT CERTIFICATE SEVERAL BUCKETS: filled with headphones, tee shirts, hats, etc. We will be raffling 4 box seats to the fisher cats for the August 23rd game vs Binghamton Mets. Last but not least, Taylor Johnson, ranked 7th in the country is traveling from North Carolina to pull in a match against Deb Banaian. Taylor is now 18 and has been pulling since she was 13. She holds several national titles and in 2010 Taylor won bronze at the Worlds Arm Wrestling Championships. Deb Banaian, 51 year middle school teacher, is yet to be ranked. She has won national titles and has been pulling for 3 and 1/2 years. Can she prove herself against this ranked arm wrestler? Pre-worlds, both athletes are hungry for the win and the confidence this match will bring but only one can win. Check out Taylor Johnson's videos on youtube... www.facebook.com/events/1049608598387254/
