Teays Valley -- The World's Strongest Man helps find the World's Strongest Camper in Putnam County. Bill Kazmaier, the World's Strongest Man for three years, was on hand to challenge the 80 campers. The event was sponsored by the Tri-County YMCA in Teays Valley. Like the "Strongman Competitions" organizers made a light-weight version of the atlas stones and Fridge lift for campers to try to carry.

"I did the refrigerator. I got the big refrigerator. It's cardboard but it was hard," says Isabella Scarberry of Milton. "Lifting the stones. We had to run back and forth. It was kind of hard but it wasn't hard," says Earl Sayas of Scott Depot.

Organizers hope to make this an annual event.
