The federation has informed that they are pulling out all the stops to ensure that fans experience an unforgettable evening of top class action.
To this end the GABBFF with the assistance of its Canada based Executive Committee Member Eustace Abraham has tracked down and confirmed that Canadian National Heavyweight Champion in the 33 – 45 age group {Masters} Tananarive McGowan, who is Jamaican born, will be gracing the stage as Guest Poser on Saturday.
McGowan, who has had a successful career, is one of the most dominant and feared body builders for her phenomenal conditioning on stage. She has won the overall title at the Ontario Provincial championships this year before moving on to dominate the opposition at the Canadian National championships where she took the top spot in the 33-45 Masters category.
Ms. McGowan says that she is looking forward to visiting Guyana for the GABBFF’s Senior’s and is also looking forward to interacting with athletes while here.
