Friday, March 16, 2018, the second day of the tournament, head to the American Legion Hall (Evanston Post 42) to catch the start of the March Madness action. The hall is huge so come one come all! While you’re relaxing and enjoying all the tournament has to offer, unlimited beer and appropriate game watching food will be provided by your gracious hosts. We can’t promise your favorite team will win but we can promise a good time. Let the madness commence, game on! (Cost $50/person)

thank you
