Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone else from Chicago is going to the Ray hesney
in Philadelphia. Thought I would see who else is going this year.
Its been a few years since I last went. Thanks, Melissa.
Dennis West (Red Wing) is running a Blind Draw (Plastic) on Wed at Time Out 1130 E LAKE ST,HANOVER PARK, IL (630)213-1006. I believe sign up at 8 start at 830 entry $10.00
Please call ahead because Im not sure of all the details.
Thank you Brad for sending me up-to-date info on the Avalanche & Cantina Draw. I uploaded a new Soft Tip Dart Flyer. Thanks to all the darters for your help, keep both our steel & plastic flyers current.
I just posted a new one. Thank you Dennis it's nice that you took the time to check it and help me update it. There are quite a few Blind Draws in the area and any help from the darters to keep the list up-to-date is greatly appreciated!!!>>
There is a bar not far from there, Mulligan's at Roscoe and Damen. They have numerous teams in the Windy City Dart League. If you visit www.windycitydarters.org, you may find a few others that are near by as well.
There are blind draws in the city also.... Friday's at Di's Den (Iriving Park and Leclaire) and Wednesday and Saturday's at Family Bar (Irving Park and Naragassat).
Hope this helps.
