Arnold Sports Festival
This weekend will mark the third year that I have worked the EAS booth at the Arnold Sports Festival. This is the largest multi-sport event in the nation and this year the EXPO will feature over 700 booths. The best part is that it happens in our back yard as the Columbus Convention Center will be the host of the event.
The EAS booth is always a favorite among visitors as we typically feature well known athletes - last year we had James Laurinaitis, Dick Butkus, Brady Quinn, Matt Hasselbeck, along with Jen Perez and Mark Weir. Those of you that don't know Mark Weir, he is a professional mountain biker and has one of the coolest pump tracks in the nation in his back yard. This is a track that you don't pedal, you just pump your bike and get moving. Check out the YouTube video.
If you live in Columbus and have an interest in weight training, but you have never been to the Arnold, I would highly recommend it.
I will take pictures and try to update everyone, as the athletes that are attending have not been released, so I will try to blog on Friday to let those of you that might be interested know.
Also, as a final comment, anyone that reads this blog and approaches me at the EAS booth, will be given an EAS t-shirt.
