National title takes the stage at the Leather Archives and Museum

IML 2003 John Pendel announced the change at the Mr Chicago Leather contest as he introduced ABW Producer and Mr Chicago Leather judge Dean Ogren at Touché bar. Dean has confirmed that an agreement has been reached with Touché as one of the presenting venue sponsors, and that the Leather Archives and Museum will also be one of the locations for the weekend activities. The American Brotherhood Weekend will be held in Chicago on July 16-18 in conjunction with the Mr. Midwest Rubber Weekend at Touché on that same weekend. LIP Service has also been identified as a presenting sponsor, as well as Hooker and the Boys.

“In order to survive as one of the national leather events, and to economize, the move to Chicago, and the tie in with the Midwest Rubber contest made the most sense.” Said Dean. “I am hopeful that this move will improve attendance and participation, to put the event in the black, and provide and exciting event for our loyal ABW family.”

More information on the weekend, sponsorship opportunities, and program ads will be completed and available on the ABW website after March 15.
