Dear Checker Players, Let’s make this State Tournament a big one! You make plans to attend and bring a friend. We have a nice checkers article written up in "Our State" magazine announcing the ty dates and location. The Newspaper and TV will be there, and so should you!
The NC State Open Checker Ty
