A huge thanks to Promoters Ribic & Craig Productions, volunteers and the dedicated competitors who keep this sport growing. The Pacific Northwest is a special place when it comes to the NPC community with everybody pitching in to make each others' shows as successful as possible. It's a continued privilege to be able to cover and publicize these shows for decades now. We'll have more on the show here in general as time permits. You can also find more content on Instagram @david_twixpix. Thanks for NOT cropping watermarks if reposting photos on social media. Official results and further information can be found at Craig/Ribic Production events..
