Where would be a good place to get a hotel around all the courses?  I am thinking of Pekin.

LaQuinta in Morton.

[Jon Brakel]

It's really easy to get to all of those courses from Morton. It is fairly quick to get to all of those courses from Morton except for Bradley. You won't find a motel that is convenient for all of them because Bradley is on the other side of the river. Taken from someone who has gone down there for the last few years for a three day tournament (not that they'd let me play!), the best compromise is to stay in Morton.

[Mukey]

I'd 3rd the Morton location. You've got a few close places for quick eats right there and the Morton course is right down the road.

P.S. My brother & I stayed in Pekin last year when we made a trip to Peoria, Sonic was close but that was about it. Just my $0.02.

... and for Mukey, the food must not only be quick, but constant.... 

[Dan Michler]

I've seen everything Mukey eats, unfortunately I saw it all after it had been eaten....

Actually, he only saw the nasty chesse ravioli I got from Avanti's in Bloomington when we went to the Capitol City Challenge & Homie (same weekend) in '06. Really his car took the brunt of the hit, but I managed to get a window open & gave him car wash $ along with gas $ for the weekend. Since then I've been keeping everything "inside the box"

I'm going to see about getting a discount rate at the La Quinta in Morton or somewhere around there...Also, if you contact the Pekin Park District you can camp there.  I will call and confirm this.

I have sent all the info to PDGAsignup.com, so hopefully online registration will be up soon!

"Oldman" Wallis let me camp in his back yard in 2006 for the Lesser Peoria open. He's right next to Bradley Park. Might be an option, but you'll have to contact him yourself. You can reach him through the PFC website.

Dana, thanks for getting the e-amil out for me so the WIU DGC can pay the entry fees for Hamilton and I. 

We made a reservation at the Concord Inn that is in Pekin.  My suitemates told me to go there b/c they live in pekin.  The hotel is going to have a live band on friday and saturday night.

[dana]

Not a problem!  Looking forward to it. 

Once online registration is available, I suggest you pre register!  This tournament will fill...

[dana]

Sponsors are starting to roll in! 

Wilbur Wallis has purchased the first t-sign and huklab is also on board!

I tried getting ahold of the manager at La Quinta in Morton today but didn't have any luck.  Looks like I have an excuse to get over to Morton now
