Faster than a speeding pickup. More powerful than a tractor tire. Able to scale tall, plywood walls in a single bound. Dozens of super men, women and kids showed their strength Friday night at the third annual Brown County Fair Hillbilly Ninja Warrior contest, balancing on cable spools, swinging through salmon ladders, and trying to defy gravity with daring climbing stunts. The giant obstacle course, built by county employees and volunteers, tested nearly 70 competitors, with 15 taking home medals, cash prizes and bragging rights.
