will get enough of look that will matter and

Kelly judged for us for the first time last year. We
enjoyed her cool, collected judging demeanor and
synergy with our judging panel! I am glad to be the
first to announce her as a premier judge on our panel
and thank you (and her husband) for making the long
trip from Pennsylvania to be with us on the 12th. Sit

ENTERTAINMENT:
If you are familiar with our shows, then you KNOW we move mountains to
give you the “Experience” of a lifetime. Up to our old tricks as usual,
we have enlisted the assistance of Adam Baranello and A&G Dance Company
http://adambaranello.com/a-and-g-dance-co.php to coordinate the show
opening. We are always looking for new and exciting ways to elevate the
show experience of our audience and this year, we have planned a dynamic
opening that stars YOU as the main event. If you have been to our shows,
you know that WE KNOW how to open up the night! Be there on September
12th to witness the action or be part of the opening excitement! We thank
Adam for stepping into the action and helping us to create another level
of show that YOU deserve!

SPONSORS:
I speak with different sponsors who court the Long Island Experience each
and every year. Some sponsors I choose to not bring back, others don’t
even get the opportunity to showcase themselves. I do this because I
don’t want to “sell you” to just anyone trying to make a buck. The
sponsors we select go through the same intensive interview process and we
assess whether they are bringing you good product or just worthless crap.
This year, we’ve found some great one(s).
Michael and Sharon Saylor will bring to you the finest in XS
Sport Supplements. Having been a ‘user’ (and only a “user” of LEGAL
supplements) of XS products, I can vouch for their efficacy and encourage
you to investigate the benefits of these products in your supportive
nutrition endeavors.
For this week, that’s the news. Stay in touch with us and I look forward
to hearing from any of you with respect to the details of this year’s
show. I am humbled by having contact with you now or in the past, and
thank you on behalf of Durlan for believing in A Long Island Experience.
We will work hard to bring you another great show and I thank you as
always for doing things the ‘hard way’ by staying drug free!
Keep it real,
