Hey Tom and Bob,
Looking forward to having you guys and Mike at the contest. We're planning on a good time, the more the better!! Dave, The Heritage is the newest of the Hotels but sometimes hard to get in to due to the railroad guys stay there. If you choose the Fort Scott Inn you may want to request a room on the West side as there are several trains that pass through town. The Courtland is near downtown and is an old restored Motel. I've never been in it but have heard from some of the guys who have stayed there during past contests that it's pretty nice. I think I heard John Ford say he and Adam are booked in the Courtland. Hope this helps!

Todd
