Since you will not be traveling here I thought I would give you a brief description of where we are. Wood River High School is 10 miles south of the world famous Sun Valley ski resort. and also a nordic Olympic training center. Numerous winter olympians have come from our small county of 23,000 people.
More information will follow when we schedule the tournament on Google Meet.
