Have you ever wanted to move big rocks and logs with your friends in the woods for fun? Here's your chance to give it try. Power On The Point is an amateur level strongman contest in Port Jervis, NY. We hand pick only the finest of local stones and logs for our events, so you'll feel right at home when you're putting that big rock on your shoulder, or picking up that big heavy log. We care about our parks and recreational areas, and that's why all proceeds from this event get donated to the Outdoor Club of Port Jervis. We're here to help out and have fun, and if you want to do that too, sign up, start practicing, and we'll see you on the hill.

Four events will take place simultaneously with each group rotating to the next event when completed. The final event will be the Log Deadlift, where all the classes will convene.
