Believe me Greg and I were all over Peoria and the surrounding areas promoting the contest. Greg sent out emails and posters to a large number of powerlifting gyms all over Illinois and some in the surrounding states.
Powerlifting USA missed getting us in 2 months in a row. Not sure if that was our fault or theres but it really does not matter at this point. Either way that did not help the turn out.
The APC strict rules did discourage some lifters from attending as well. I know this for a fact because some were friend of mine who insist on wearing open back shirts.
Already Greg and I have been pounding on doors at local businesses encouraging their support. Dr. Rob Richardson of Health Solutions has pledged his support again. Support is the key to these contest and we appreciate all our sponsors for this last contest. Hooters, Old Chicago and I'm No Angel Tattoo all contributed support that helped us put this on. I personally ask everyone to show there thanks to these businesses by giving them your business.
The Nationals will be bigger and better than this last contest I will assure you.
