AOBS president Art Drechsler announced today that next year's dinner will be on June 12th, in Saddle Brook, New Jersey again. The 2003 AOBS dinner was held this past weekend and drew what reportedly was the largest turnout ever, as AOBS founder Vic Boff, along with weightlifter Clyde Emerich and bodybuilder Clarence Bass were honored. Drechsler said next year's event will be even bigger and better, and there will be a specific time and location for people to meet informally, demonstrate and/or try different feats of strength, etc. before the actual dinner and awards ceremony.
