Power On The Point 2 returns to the forests of Point Peter, located in Port Jervis, NY. This year we added some new events and changed some old ones. We are continuing the tradition of lifting stones with our friends from the PJ StoneChallenge in the brisk November air and raising funds to maintain our park. 

We added Open Divisions for all those who want something heavier than what the novice classes will have posted. Open Divisions will not have any weight limits for competitors, big or small, but is encouraged for those who have experience with heavy stone lifting.

Sign up early, Tell your friends.
