One of the events at the 1985 Corner Brook Winter Carnival was wrist wrestling, and CBC reporter Joe Mullins was there to take in the action.

Over its 45-year history, the Corner Brook Winter Carnival has evolved from just a weekend festival to 10 days of food and fun.

Back in 1985, one of the events at the carnival was wrist wrestling.

The lightweight division went to Jordan Christopher, middleweight to Myles Griffin with the heavyweight going to his brother Peter Griffin.

CBC reporter Joe Mullins took in the action, which ended up in a showdown between brothers to determine an overall champ.
