I want to congratulate first time promoters Prince and Debbie Fontenot on a successful and entertaining event. After being of the NPC Texas scene for 5 years the contest was revitalized by the Fontenot’s. All competitors were in tremendous condition and looked great. It was an awesome site to look out into the crowd and see a sold out venue! The Fontenot’s managed to sell out both the house floor and the balcony of the beautiful venue. I thank each of you who participated or came out to support NPC Texas!
