Re: Outreach Advice Wanted
It's simply the Hicksville Invitational. This was the fourth year running, we drew 24 teams which was the max I wanted. We had two schools from Michigan come down.
A little further (one county) into the state is Pettisville -- I'll be running Petti Warz 2 on March 2 using IS-181.
