Notes
: Expect a good Amish/Mennonite participation and some with master talent. The playing facility has a shower (bring your own towels), a kitchen with a fridge and microwave, and plenty of concrete/carpeted floor space for players who want to camp out or bring air mattresses. We have air mattresses and plenty of private space to pitch a tent. The nearest hotels are in Wooster (about 16 miles / 26 minutes north) and Orrville (about 13 miles / 27 minutes north northeast), also Crist indicated that, "There are players from the local area who would be happy to be the host to an overnight guest as well, just ask and let it be known." Dalton is about the same distance but no hotel.
