Welcome to The Highlander at the Republic. Texas Iron Republic is holding a festival style Strongman Competition. This event is a benefit for Waylon Lorance who is a warrior battling Apert Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that causes the skull, hands, and feet bones to fuse prematurely, and requires many surgeries in his early stages of development. Waylon is just 2 years old and has his whole life ahead of him. Waylon is blessed with two amazing parents Taryn and Gary who are by his side everyday. A percentage of all proceeds will go to Waylons journey! We will be holding a raffle at the end of the event. There will be QR codes everywhere to donate directly to Waylons GoFundMe.

We will have fun for the kids as well with a Bounce House, dunk tank, local vendors and more! Food truck's to be announced. We will have a beer tent at this event!!! So, bring the family on July 12th to The Highlander at The Republic and witness amazing feats of strength, good food, friends and a bounce house!
