Orlando, Florida is known for Disney, Universal Studios, MGM, Sea World, Epcot Center, the Orlando Magic and much more entertainment. So, on Nov 3 & 4, the WTF added some new excitement and entertainment to the Orlando area by hosting their Eastern Championship in conjunction with the Fitness America Florida Pageant.

Despite travel being hampered by the happenings around the world, 44 accomplished women athletes participated in this event. The states of Alabama, Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Georgia, California, Ohio, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Florida were represented. The Grace & Physique, Fitness Routine and Fitness Skills took place at Kissimmee Middle School who proved to be a most gracious host. Many thanks to principal, Dr. John Beall and staff. The obstacle course was held at the Lori Ann Lloyd Obstacle Academy situated inside Orlando's Water Park. Lori Ann and her staff did an excellent job monitoring the event.
