Hi everyone!
I am very excited about a new possibility for the upcoming IFBB/NPC Kentucky Muscle show (
http://www.kentuckymuscle.com) on Nov 7th & 8th. I am working with the promoter Brent Jones on the IFBB portion of the show. Not sure how familiar you are with the KY Muscle, but it is a long running and extremely successful NPC show in Louisville, Kentucky that added Pro IFBB Figure for the first time last year. The show has a huge amount of NPC athletes, a packed audience and was a large Pro Figure show last year. Just an outstanding turn out and in my opinion, one of the best run shows around.
As I am sure you have heard, the West Palm Beach show which had both Fitness & Figure was cancelled for this year after the untimely passing of show promoter Jon Organ. During this year, we have also lost the All Star Pro Fitness show (AR). With a limited number of IFBB Fitness shows to begin with taking these 2 shows off the roster has been a real blow to Pro Fitness in my opinion. On the positive side, the shows this year have had excellent participation by the pro fitness athletes. After much discussion, Brent and I are working hard to have Pro Fitness included with Pro Figure at this years Kentucky Muscle. It just makes so much sense. Everything is prepared - the stage, music capabilities, venue... all we really need in order to add Fitness is sponsor money to cover the sanction fees and prize money. With the show only 9 weeks away, this is short notice and we will have to act quickly. If you have any ideas that could further this effort, or know/are a company that would be interested in sponsoring the show for fitness, you can contact myself (julie@julielohre.com) or Brent Jones (lbrentjones@kentuckymuscle.com)
Thanks so much!
