Still Rooms Available!

There's still rooms at both tribal hotels, the casino rooms book faster than the Inn so hurry hurry and get em while they last! LOL!

FYI: I heard that if you have a Saginaw Chippewa tribal member book your room at the casino hotel...they get a pretty hefty discount! That's just what I heard anyway (shhh )...lol!

DOUBLE BEAT SPECIAL!?!??!?! AWESOME!!!!

Anyone know G.E. times?

[ndnMSW]

I'm looking at the flyer right now and it doesn't say GE times, but usually its 7pm Fri, 1pm Sat (1 long session with 2 contest rounds), and 1pm on Sunday. Jinglin will probably read this and confirm or correct.
