Hi every one thinking about a trip to the Grand this year , was hoping someone
would maybe give me some great leads to look into , Really appreciate it for you
looking and help also .
Thank you Jd
JD Where is the Grand going to be? I heard a lot of scuttle on it not going to happen at Sparta. It is still up in the air as the WSC is still closed ( except for the retail area ). With the anti gun state of Illinois being broke I am not sure it will happen there.
Good morning Ken yes I too have heard and read all the story’s , but with just getting back into the sport I would like to make a field trip down there ,Getting older and want it off my bucket list , if it is still open .And maybe now would be a great time to find a place , heck I can always cancel it huh ,,lol.lol.Thanks for the drop in have a great day …
Still looking for info …..

JD hit the link for more info. This page shows 3 motels in Sparta. Since you are planning on making reservations early one of these might have space.
Jim. How long and when are you planning on going and being there. It will be in Sparta. Didn’t look at which hotels are listed but there is really only two that I would stay at. HI is the newest, but is really gouging the shooters. I heard like $175 or more. The other is usually booked by the EC and I believe it is a Best Western now. I has changed hands a couple of times.
Check the hotels in Red Bud. Don Chrapla and Dwight Paulin have stayed there and said it was nice.
There is also a Best Western in Chester.
There are a couple of hotels scattered around within 30 miles or less.
I have been renting houses for at lease six or seven years now. The one I have now is less than 10 min. from the grounds. Ron and I pay $600 for the main week. Nothing fancy but 2 bedrooms and central air, car port, and everything else you normally have in a house. The owner moves out for the week. Leaves us some beer and booze. What more can you ask for. I will ask around to see if they know of any other houses available.
Found me a place to stay , thank you to you all for the help , it is still hard out there as many are still planning on going to the Grand , or at least like me , want to be ready either way , can’t wait let the shooting season begin ,I need targets on my card ..
