A victory for an Iowa bodybuilder could mean a win for her hometown
A bodybuilder from Mount Ayr is competing for a shot to be on a magazine cover and win $20,000.
51-year-old Monica Zorn is now in the Top 5 to be on the cover of "Muscle and Fitness Hers."
Currently, Mount Ayr doesn't have a gym for her to train at. So Zorn makes the drive to Creston to get her workouts in.
But if she wins the prize money, Zorn hopes to open a gym in the small Ringgold County town of 2,000 people.
"Everybody's like, 'Monica why don't you put a gym here? Why don't you put a gym here?' And I'm like well, 'Why don't you help me and we'll put a gym here.' So part of that would go to that, and then part of that would probably go to taking a nice vacation."
Zorn regularly posts links to vote in the contest on her Facebook page under her stage name "Monica Rae."
The contest runs through June 23.
