240 tell me more about the gulfcoast championship. Is it a big show, little show or what? Is it a national qualifier?
I wish I had more details. It's been held in N Ft Myers the last 2 years. Vic Martinez was this year's pro, and Darrem was the year before (when the hurricane hit town and they had to hold the event outside = no electricity!)
They held it at N. Ft. Myers High School. Packed high school auditorium. Very professionally run. A few pros in attendance, little expo outside. Lots of older NPC guys I can't name lol. I dunno if it's a national qualifier or not. They didn't promote it very well, but the day of the show it was packed, so BBing must have a pretty decent following in SW Florida. The winners looked good... the 50+ age group guy was named Paul something, and he looked like a smaller Melvin Anthony. They had kids, mens, 40+ and 50+ i think? Plus fitness competitors. A few top NPC competitors spoke, a female pro guest posed, a top amateur FBB posed. It was fun.
