I see there is another IL contest the same day
Southern Illinois Strongest Man

who is promoting this?

It is Tony Wilson. He's buddies with Ryan Blumhorst (sp?) from Mt. Vernon.

I okayed the meet simply because it's the last date for individuals to qualify for Nationals.
However the meet will not be a part of the Series, Mr. Wilson has expressed he does not wish to be a part of the Series.
So the contest is not eligible for Illinois Records (since I will be in Manteno running a meet the same day), along with not being eligible for Series points, or a qualifier for the IL Hercules.
