going on two screens. CSS Photo Design will be there to take photos and
pictures. They will have two flat screens up on each side of the
platforms.
NOTE: YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO TAKE PHOTOS AND VIDEO
TAPE YOUR TRAINING PARTNERS AND FAMILY MEMBERS ONLY. CSS PHOTO DESIGN
WILL BE THE OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER AND WILL VIDEOTAPE THE WHOLE MEET AS
WELL. I APPRECIATE IF YOU CAN SUPPORT THEM. THANK YOU.
For everyone competing, I have been given a 15% discount at the
Elephant Bar and North Woods Inn restaurant which are both directly
across from the hotel. The Red Robin Restaurant inside the Holiday Inn
will also provide 15% off. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I
know good food is important to all lifters. I certainly know it is for
me.
The following restaurants are very close and within
walking distance to the Holiday Inn: In and Out Burger, Subway,
Starbucks Coffee, El Pollo Loco chicken, and Burger King. The Holiday
Inn is 8 miles from Disneyland which is approximately 15 minutes away
going south on the 5 freeway for those interested.
