From golf to beer or a Krystal-eating contest, there'll be no shortage of things to keep men occupied at Chattanooga's "manly man event" today.

The second annual Man Xpo, a Times Free Press event, will be held rain or shine at Finley Stadium and First Tennessee Pavilion.

The event celebrates "all things manly" starts at 11 a.m. Activities will be divided between the stadium and the pavilion. The Man Xpo features a NASCAR simulator, a Fish N Fun Pond, golf simulator, beer garden and a Krystal-eating contest between police, firemen and local emergency medical services personnel.

Last year, Hamilton County EMS won the eating contest by downing 17 pounds, 6 ounces of sizzling hot wings.

There'll also be a climbing wall, boats, motorcycles, trucks, video games, and other activities.

But the event is not just for dads and sons; moms and daughters are welcome, too.
