March 15 – Santee Avenue from 11:00 until
 Think crushing strength, bulging biceps, and a hint of green... no, not the Hulk, but close. You've seen them on ESPN, FOX Sports, OLN, and MTV, and now the internationally award winning Strongmen will be lifting Five Points on March 14th and 15th to celebrate St. Pat's Day.
"Combining one of the largest regional celebrations with one of the highest rated TV programs on ESPN, this is bound to be a recipe for excitement," said Jack VanLoan, Chairman of the St. Pat's in Five Points committee. "Besides, who wouldn't want to see 320 lb men in kilts!"
SC Strength, in partnership with American Strongmen Corporation will be bringing the first of three National Strongmen Qualifiers to St. Pat's in Five Points.
Over 25 massive athletes from across the U.S. will be pulling trucks, lifting motorcycles and cars, pressing axles and moving boulders to prove they are the strongest man. The excitement of this two-day event will begin on March 14 at 6:00 p.m. on Santee Avenue with two of the six qualifying events.
Qualifying for the competition will continue the next day at 11:00 a.m. on Santee Avenue. There you will be able to see St. Pat's Strongman 2006 winner, Travis Ortmayer, 2007 winner Derk Poundstone and all the big guys from TV compete in unmatched shows of strength.
"With their daily consumption ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 calories, these guys will have plenty of energy to burn," said Mike Johnston, S.C. Strength promoter. "We are all very excited about the potential for bringing this national qualifier to St. Pat's in Five Points. I think the Midlands deserves an opportunity to see these athletes up close and personal."
American Strongmen Corporation (ASC) is the premier strongmen organization worldwide and through their ranks come the professional strongmen seen on ESPN's Worlds Strongest Man and OLN's Strongman World Championship. The ASC mission is to provide support for professional strongmen athletes and generate funds for various charities throughout the United States.
