Our Next Reunion Set For October 23, 2010 at the Marriott Hotel in Newark Airport, NJ
We are pleased to announce that the AOBS will be holding its 26th annual dinner reunion on October 23rd, 2010, at the Marriott Hotel in Newark Airport, NJ. This will be a super event with some amazing honorees. We will be honoring former Mr. Universe and natural bodybuilding pioneer, Chet Yorton, along with Dennis Rogers, one of the leading living exponents of oldetime strongman events (and some new ones that has invented). Both men will be honored with our "Vic Boff Highest Achievement Award". At least one more honoree will be announced soon. We will also be inducting, into our posthumous Hall of Fame, two great strongmen: the first famous strongman in US history, Warren Lincoln Travis, and his pupil, Joe "The Great" Rollino.
And while honoring these fabulous stars for their achievements is our primary objective on the day of the reunion, these annual AOBS gatherings offer a unique opportunity to learn the history of the Iron Game and to teach it. Prior to the dinner, there will be a Collectors and Historical Meeting, a Seminar hosted by a legend of the Iron Game along with a variety of exhibitions of strength. Finally, as always, the reunion will provide a very special opportunity to renew old friendships and make new ones.
