Entry forms are rolling in for the 2010 Natural Buckeye Classic, as we build off of success from the inaugural competition last April. In 2009, we recuited competitors from around Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and even Florida and this year people are traveling in from even further. Entertainment will be high, trophies will be the best around and you can expect another well run event.
We thank God for making this event possible, all of our sponsors, volunteers and staff. Get ready for a bigger and better event in 2010! We will be holding our second annual show at Ohio State's brand new Ohio Union Performance Hall. And even better, the Men's Overall and Women's Figure Overall winners will get WNBF Rookie Pro Cards this year! Visit our show info page for 2009 results, pictures and complete information on April's event.
Thanks,
Max Muscle Columbus and Rich Lauro

COMPETITOR FEEDBACK FROM 2009:
A few of the many positive messages we received:
Thank you so much for a wonderful contest experience yesterday! I had a great time. All competitors were very friendly and I met some great people. I have definitely made my switch to natural shows, as even the audience was better than my past shows. I am looking forward to Dayton in a few weeks. Again, thank you!

I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say thank you for running such a great show! It was very professional with a great crew of competitors. I was impressed. You should be very proud of how well the first annual Natural Buckeye Classic was conducted. Way to go! I had a great time and it was a real honor to stand up there with guys that were so shredded. They were true athletes. I look forward to next year too.
Sincerely,
John Fortney
Just wanted to give you a "huge" shout out for the great experience that you and your staff gave all of us, especially since this was my first attempt. The way the day was organized and the thoroughness of all those that were involved was incredible. I am quite sure as I pursue future natural bodybuilding competitions, the Buckeye will be the measuring stick as to which I will compare.
