Rodman will be on hand for the 2005 Wife Carrying World Championships taking place in SonkajArvi, Finland, sponsored by GoldenPalace.com. Like so many of the world’s more bizarre events, wife carrying has it’s origins buried deep in the bosom of an age old local tradition – in this case, the 19th century practice of wife stealing. The competition has achieved enormous popularity worldwide spawning North American, Australian, German, South African, and Estonian Championships. But the World Championships will always be in SonkajArvi where it all started.
The event is all about having a good time, something GoldenPalace.com is familiar with. The casino has been making headlines for years with their outrageous advertising, and this is just the kind of eccentricity that attracts the popular gaming site, as well as their celebrity spokesperson Rodman.
Rodman has been involved with several GoldenPalace.com marketing campaigns, including the famous Running Of The Bulls in Pamplona with Ray Sabbatini, a man stricken with Multiple Sclerosis, to support MS awareness and help find a cure for the deadly disease.
The 2005 Wife Carrying World Championships are scheduled for July 2. More information is available at www.eukonkanto.com.
