(www.lukeskaarup.com photo)Fort Frances will be the site of a Strongman competition this spring.
Organizer Luke Skaarup says the first-ever event is expected to attract some of the strongest men in the province, along with a few from Manitoba and the U-S.
"I think the guys we're drawing here are mostly the Ontario athletes," says Skaarup, "so it could be guys from southern or northern Ontario. This is there opportunity to qualify for the 2011 Ontario Strongest Man competition."
The event will coincide with this year's Fort Frances Chamber of Commerce's Home and Leisure Show.
Skaarup says participants will take part in five events involving some very heavy weights, along with a truck pull.
