Sumo wrestlers “Nate the Barbarian” (also known as Staples Administrator Nate Mathews) and “Crusher Chris” (also known as Staples Mayor Chris Etzler) entertained a crowd gathered in downtown Staples June 3, for a Turnback Kick-off Party. Pictured above, Charles Pechan (far left) helps Nate the Barbarian suit up before the match; and Crusher Chris (far right) gets assistance from Amy Hunter, Mainstreet Coordinator of the Staples Motley Area Chamber of Commerce and employee of the Staples Downtown Revitalization Board. Pictured at left, it’s an intense, close match between the two wrestlers, but in the end, Crusher Chris won. (Staples World photos by Dawn Timbs)
