Strongmen and women convened in Coram for Cabin Fever Days annual arm wrestling competition. While a lack of snow prevented the weekend’s main event, the famed barstool ski races, from transpiring, a jubilant atmosphere permeated Paul Bunyan’s Bar and Grill. The crowd cheered on as competitors stress-tested their upper body musculature. Prizes included cash, gift cards, medals, spirits and bragging rights.
