Mr. Olympia coming to Algonquin
The folks at FitRX in Algonquin are bringing in the muscles to help introduce you to their new store in the Esplanade along Randall Road.
On Saturday, August 16, eight-time Mr. Olympia winner Ronnie Coleman will be in the store signing autographs and taking pictures with fans, as well as letting you just stand in awe of his bodybuilder body.
Ronnie "King" Coleman, as he is known to his fans, will be around from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The next weekend, the big guns will be back again, as Trey Brewer, also known as "The Phenom", will make an appearance at Fit Rx.
He also will sign autographs and take pictures with fans from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Both days, there also will be free samples given away, store manager Roger Wroblewski said.
FitRX opened earlier this year. The store specializes in herbs, sports nutrition, vitamins, nutritional supplements, powder, protein bars, health food and healthy smoothies.
Wroblewski says his business offers the best prices around on these products, and invites you to come out to see their deals and meet the famous body builders.
Buying Books:
As you're out there buying your school supplies and books this year, you may want to think of others who can't afford their supplies or books.
Border's Books in Algonquin, and at many other locations in the area, is holding a book drive, allowing you to share the joy of reading with a less fortunate child.
The book drives helps benefit children in the local area.
