Heartland Armwrestling is hosting a tournament in Omaha, Nebraska this Saturday, offering, "prayer and compassion for our brothers and sisters in the south," and some serious pulling for all who are interested in competing or just enjoying the action.

There are classes for everyone in what is being billed as, "the best event in the midwest." Please email armwrestle@aol.com for contest details.

Incidentally, showing that the name of her organization, Heartland Armwrestling, is more than a geographical term, Mary McConnaughey is reported forgoing a trip to the World Armwrestling Championships and hoping to spend two weeks working in the south instead, helping with the Katrina relief efforts.
