This is their 89th continuous Annual Virginia Checker Tournament (since 1917 and right through WWII) historically held in Danville, the tournament was moved to the beautiful location of Bedford in 2002. From the window of the Super 8 Motel there is a great view of Sharp Top Mountain and the Peaks of Otter, the highest in Virginia.
