Gary Gnann ran a fun show. It was Gary's seventh show as a promoter and he knows how to run an "athletes" competition. His welcoming was warm and cordial, full of congratulatory good wishes for everyone, especially the first time competitors. The venue was excellent, large stage, great lighting and sound, good size audience area, superb back stage with plenty of space for men's and women's changing rooms, a large pump up area with mirrors and, plenty of fruit, water and food. Gary's Louisiana hospitality flowed over to the after show, when he rolled out sandwiches, spicy chicken wings and Jambalaya for the competitors.

It was the first OCB contest in Louisiana and for a first time event, it drew a group of very competitive men and women. Gary provided a great team of facilitators and the show started on time and moved quickly. Prejudging began at 1 PM and by 2:30 we were at lunch watching the Auburn - LSU football game on TV. The evening show also started on time at 6 PM and we were done and out of the venue by 9:30.

I had a great time with good results, winning a bronze, silver and gold statue. I placed 1st in Men's Master 60+, 2nd in Men's Master 50+ and 3rd in the Open Men's Tall Class. The trophies are some of the nicest I've seen.

A special highlight for me was when Gary had me on as a mini-guest poser to perform my "16 Tons" posing routine for my Master's Class and my new "When I'm 64" routine for the Open Men's Tall Class. Both of these routines were choreographed for me by Russ Testo. Gary also had a real guest poser, an NGA Pro from the area who was excellent.

I hope Gary's OCB Gulf States show grows larger each year and I hope he promotes more OCB events in the South. Thanks for a great event, Gary.
