We had athletes from MO, IO, WI, and IL attend the
first annual KANKAKEE COUNTY STRONGEST MAN.
Experienced strongmen and first timers battled it out
to what became a close contest in each division.
It was an honor to hold a contest for some remarkable
athletes and hope to see everyone again next year.
Plans are already in progress in making next years
contest bigger and better.
Thank you,
Tony Soucie
