We’ve looked over the list of coming attractions at the Times Free Press Man Xpo, billed as Chattanooga’s first manly man event. And though there’s no mention of Chuck Norris or bacon, we have to admit we’re impressed by the depth and scope of products and activities.
Weaponry. An eating contest. Cigars. Golf. Hunting. Fishing. Lawn mower races. Football. An echoing chorus of Tim Allen-style guttural grunts throughout the day.
OK, we’re just imagining that last one. But it’s hard not to think it won’t happen.
Just those taking part include athletic and outdoorsy types, police officers and firefighters, an ESPN college football analyst. That’s a lot of testosterone.
Which is exactly the point of the Man Xpo — not just an “event for” but a “celebration of” manly men.
