2007 NPC Mr/Ms Minnesota & Greater Twin Cities Open Men's Bodybuilding Challenge June 11th, 2007 Dear NPC Athletes & fans of the sport, It is 8 weeks out from the revised date for the 2007 MR./MS MN & Greater Twin Cities Men’s Open.After some serious thought, the co-promoters have decided that it is best to cancel this year’s event.We extend our sincere apologies to any athletes who had planned to compete in this year’s show. Since these shows represent a significant financial up-front investment by the promoters, we felt it was best to put our time & resources to work towards ensuring a successful event in 2008. Although many other major details were set, our main attraction was not. After the show date change, Weider has thus far been unable to secure an IFBB Pro Male Guest Poser for the show, out of a respectable list of potential athletes due to scheduling conflicts with another major event and personal conflicts for others. We were in a position where the wait & uncertainty reduced our comfort level with getting all the details communicated on flyers & via our traditional mailings to both athletes & fans.We had not seen thus far that a significant number of athletes were motivated to compete as only a few information requests have been received to date. We also felt there was not an appropriate amount of time left to draw new sponsors & fans to the event or to make this a ticket worth paying for. Again, we truly hope you will accept our apology.There are many other opportunities to compete or attend shows on this year’s NPC event calendar, so please plan to attend future events. Monika R.
