This weekend in Strongman 5/3/08 - May 2, 2008

by Ben Hanson

Last week, I forgot to post about one of the contests with some real world class strongmen. This Saturday, two former World's Strongest Man winners and a host of other world class strongmen will converge on Sequim, WA for the Jesse Marunde Invitational Strongman Competition.

Come see brobdingnagian athletes such as Phil Pfister (2006 World's Strongest Man), Magnus Samuelsson (1998 World's Strongest Man), Dave Ostlund, Karl Gillingham, Odd Haugen, and other top professional strongmen as they pull, push, and lift in the memory of Jesse Marunde.

The action begins at 2:00 pm in Sequim Village Center on the north side of Tarcisio's Restaurant. Anyone in the area should check out this awesome display.
