**BobbyGeneric** · 07-04-2004, 09:06 PM

Is anyone going this year? I'm not sure of the exact dates but i *think* it's the weekend of july16-18. i hear it's most likely to be a 3-day tournament, with each event on separate days - a real bummer for those not in waterloo!

That's right, July16-18. I think it also includes lunch on Saturday.

Don't feel too bad, students here are stuck in school for the summer!

I believe Ron Eydt Village offers rooms for relatively cheap. At the same time, dont expect much from these rooms. There is a dragonboat festival here the same weekend and Summerfest also. It'll be a busy weekend for sure.
