On behalf of all of us that promote the Mr/Ms Buffalo Bodybuilding, Physique, Figure, Wellness and Bikini Championships®, we would like to thank all of the competitors and their families for their support over the 70 plus  years. My father; Joe Sr. won the Mr. Buffalo in 1954. I followed in 1990. Joe Sr. went on to win the Mr. North America and me the Mr. USA (mw). We both hold great passion for the sport and great admiration for the competitors that push themselves to be the best. Our goal is to promote the Mr/Ms Buffalo Championships® with the competitor in mind. Whether it is their first time or they are a perennial favorite, we want our competitors to enjoy the experience of pushing themselves to be the best. This contest is in honor of them and Joe Lazzaro, Sr.
