Important info for hotel/housing
The Cincinnati Music Festival is the same weekend as our tournament. Holiday Inn Express is now sold out. I have tried other hotels in the area and I'm not having any luck in securing a block of rooms at a reasonable rate. So. . . there are rooms located sporadically available but use hotel points. Airbnb is an option particularly in the OTR area of Cincinnati.. . very cool. If you need housing, let me know right away. Email me with subject line: national tourney housing angelawilson@westerntfc.com
