BATTLE MOUNTAIN, Nev. -- Residents of Battle Mountain raised their armpits with pride in a tribute to their town and underarms everywhere.

About 2,000 people turned out over the weekend for the community's second annual "Festival in the Pit" -- a takeoff from Battle Mountain being named the "Armpit of America" by a Washington Post reporter in 2001.

This year's festival was sponsored by Old Spice, the maker of men's deodorant and cologne.

Events included an Old Spice deodorant toss and armpit beauty contest, as well as the more traditional amusements of hot air balloon rides, bed races, mud bogs and team roping competitions.
