1stCoC Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I just spoke with Mike Locondro at York Barbell(micondro@yorkbarbell.com) and he is doing a day of strength fund raiser for our Wounded Warriors. It will be like a old York Picnic(they were wonderful) type day of strength with heavy emphasis on grip. There will also be an induction for Slim The Hammer Man into the York hall of fame. Mike has extended the invitation to ALL groups no matter their interest or "camp" as long as they have interest in strength. Seems like a great coming together. Pass the word to one and all. He says he is collecting piles of nails, phone books, and grip toys to use as a "grip throwdown" area. Another great way for US as a group to support, promote, and enjoy grip. Good for them!Richard Sorin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoggoth Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 This would be awesome to attend! I think it was Mike L. that Rindo and I chatted with last year when I was down. Spent a whole afternoon there and would've spent more. Sometimes I really wish I was closer to the action down there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Brian) Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) I just spent a few hours at York Barbell talking with Mike Locondro and Tim Bonitz about the Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Slim "The Hammerman" Farman on May 21st. Looks like there's going to be plenty of steel to bend and phonebooks to tear for all who attend. There's also going to be grip implements to lift with commemorative t-shirts given as prizes. Other companies have made donations that will be given as prizes as well. We'll be asking for $1 to participate in some events with all proceeds going towards the Wounded Warrior Project. Mike Krivka will be doing a kettlebell workshop at $150 to participate. Admission to the event will be free.
