**Update:  Kiki's Cotton Candy (Cotton Candy, Snowcone, and Lemonade stand) will be onsite at the show and The Gut Truck and Elfie Rose Cupcakes Emporium will also be returning.  I will share links on the Facebook Event Page.

This is going to a great event with even better new and improved awards as well as prize money.

Awards will be given for top 3 in each weight class.  I really try to avoid combining weight classes at all costs but if necessary this may be done (I have never had to in the past).  

T shirts/Prize money:  With T shirt disaster I have gone through the past 2 years  I will be doing one of two things this year.  1.  If I find a distributor that I think is worth it (comparable to what I have used in the past) I will be doing t shirts again this year.  If Not I will be using any money that would have gone to shirts as well as any excess money and distribute it to the winners of the open weight classes.  I like to keep the cost of my contest low and don't want to have to increase pricing because of incurred costs like t shirts and rather put the money toward the show and all contestants as well as awards.  

Weigh-ins will take place at Forge Fitness on Friday Sept. 29th from noon-3 p.m. and 6:00 - 8:00 P.M. as well as day of the contest.  I will be and out of the gym all day on Friday so if those times don't work just send me a message and setting up a time will not be a problem.
