Old Country Buffet, 7540 Dodge
Street, Omaha, NE
110th Annual Nebraska State Open Checkers
Tournament
Check in 8:30 AM; play starts 9:00 AM. (7 rounds of
Swiss)
The best arrangements for a motel I can recommend is :
off I-80 (east of west), take the 72St. Exit north. There are 6-7 motels
right there 1 block away.
You can choose from - Super 8, Baymont, Travel Lodge, Clariton, Holiday Inn, Howard Johnson's, and Quality Inn. The lowest rate seems to be Travel Lodge & Super 8. Prices range from $60 to $65 plus tax. Dave Stovie necheckers@q.com
