ALthough we don't have hotels like the other regional host towns (inside joke there) We do have a place or two other than the concession stand to get grub. Casey's General Store you all will pass on the way in town (Abilene will probably come Old 40 but they know where Casey's is). Also if you go South from the district gym to intersection before the train track and turn right, we have a Ma and Pa type of Dairy Queen that has great burgers and other novelties like fried cauliflower. (Called the Irish Palace.) Just a few options...other wise it's 10 miles to anything else. Also Casey's Pizza if you want to order and stay at the site til the last minute to go pick it up has a # which is 785-922-7111.

Hope to visit with you all this week...feel free to ask where I am during the tournament to hunt me down and chat. Best of luck to all teams, and Welcome to Chapman.

I can give a brief look at the downtown area, plus if there is any extra time, the local areas are rich with history. Abilene has the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Grounds. Also if you go to Abilene you can sneak off to Russell Stover's Candy outlet for tons of chocolate and other things like wasabi peanuts.
