Some but not all sponsors listed on the poster along with other billiard supply vendors including Jim Six of Jim's Pool Supplies will be on hand displaying and selling their products..., longtime Joss Tour sponsor Mike Webb of Webb Custom Cues will be set-up at Turning Stone for all of your cue maintenance & repair needs.

There are no lines and plenty of great seats for all viewers at the Event Center but I would get there early anyway!

Yes, as Dana memntioned..there is plenty of seating..The upper level seating will not be open however..I'm sure if it was needed, we would..

But, if you notice there are seats between the two rows of tables..
There or the front row of the bleachers..your less than 10ft from the action.

The bleacher seats are quite comfortable.

There is some food avaiable inside the venue, snack bar type of stuff...Hotdogs, hamburgers,sandwiches..popcorn etc etc..

If your really hungry there are like 7 places to eat right on the property

I was there in February. I agree with all of this. Plenty of room and seats aren't bad.

Another place to eat that is often overlooked but has excellent food. Joel's Steakhouse is right up the road a few minutes (on the other side of the thruway). Awesome baby back ribs!
 
and Joels is a good place to have an "adult" beverage I might add !!!

There is a possability that our new venture "Lava" might be open by then..
It's going to be a high energy dance club..Not sure how they are working the alcohol policy on that yet..But the club is going to be quite impressive..

As long as where are on the subject of drinking..

Someone is building a Beer and alcohol store just across from the casino..
Who ever it is, is going to make a LOT of $$

Irish634...be sure to introduce yourself next time you come up..I'm usually working the day shift for these events..

and wandering at night with my camera..
 
i was at turning stone this february. it is an awesome venue. i spent a lot more money 2yrs ago to go to rocky mount nc for the wbpa event. i paid for the "premium seating" and thought my butt was gonna fall off. the seating is very comfortable. youre right on top of the action. theres always plenty of seating. i saw a lot more great pool at turning stone. AND ITS FREE! how can you beat that? my son and i will be there in august looking forward to watching another great tournament.
