Lots to Do During Down Times

Around the state, there’s lots to do when you’re not on the field or court (or sitting in the stands watching). Use a day or evening off to hit local attractions or celebrate a victory or the completion of a race or tournament in style. Families will enjoy the state’s many attractions like

Check out what festivals and other events are happening locally before heading to a sporting event to take the road trip beyond the competition. Toast a victory or a job well done with a local brew, wine or spirit or a relaxing treatment in one of the state’s world-class spas.

Convention and visitor bureaus, tourism offices and Chambers of Commerce are all great sources of local information and can steer sports groups in the right direction for accommodations, dining, shopping, entertainment and more.
