The National Division II Christian Homeschool Basketball Tournament (ND2CHA) has selected Salina as its host location for the 2024, 2025 and 2026 Tournaments. The three-day event is expected to attract 80+ teams featuring middle high and high school boys and girls from several states throughout the Midwest annually to Salina. Dates of the event follow:
​
2024:     Feb. 29 – March 2, 2024 (Thursday, Friday, Saturday)
2025:     March 6 – March 8, 2025 (Thursday, Friday, Saturday)
2026:     March 5 – March 7, 2026 (Thursday, Friday, Saturday)
 
The Salina Fieldhouse and Kansas Wesleyan University’s Mabee Arena will be the primary facilities for the event. Most of the tournament play will take place at the Salina Fieldhouse beginning Thursday. Games will begin at about 7:30 AM and continue to 10:00 PM daily. On Friday afternoon, the event takes a “Time Out”, which is a special event for players and spectators featuring a devotional speaker and a shooting contest. The Time-Out will take place in Mabee Arena, where there will be plenty of seating and space for all participants.
 
Steve Poage, ND2CHA Basketball Tournament Director, “We are excited to have our tournament in Salina.  Besides the central location, Salina has exceptional facilities like the Salina Fieldhouse and KWU’s Mabee Arena. In addition, Salina’s diverse lodging and dining options will provide excellent choices for our athletes, families, officials, and spectators. We believe the move to Salina is a WIN/WIN, a WIN for the homeschool basketball organization and a WIN for the student athletes and all participants!
 
Visit Salina has estimated that the three-day event will generate an economic impact of $932,000 into the Salina area.
 
Tiffany Benien, Visit Salina, commented, “A big thank you to the National Division II Christian Homeschool Association and to the Salina Fieldhouse and Kansas Wesleyan University on working together to make this event a possibility in Salina. This is a great event for Salina, and we are so excited to welcome teams from throughout the United States.  I truly believe Salina will embrace this event, provide an atmosphere to grow in the future, and continue its success!”

Finest Burgers In Town

Burgers. Arguably one of America's favorite mealtime choices. Whether you prefer cheese only or all the works, hot n spicy or traditional, a sack full of sliders or a meal size selection, you will find YOUR burger here in Salina! We couldn't possibly feature all of the burger options Salina has to offer, so we decided to introduce you to just a few favorites.
​
No Salina burger blog could be complete without Cozy Inn Hamburgers - Buy 'Em By the Sack slider-style burgers. This six-stool hamburger stand just celebrated their 100th birthday in 2022. These 'aromatic' little gems come one way - grilled with onion, no cheese, on a bun with pickle and ketchup. Recognized by USA Today, Yelp and many other rankings.

Paramount Bar likes to mix it up with burger specials not from the menu. My favorite...the Royal Blue, featuring bacon, BOTH blue cheese crumbles AND an incredible blue cheese sauce.

There are unique burger options at Chuck's Bar & Grill. Check out the Big Smoky...1/3 lb fresh Angus beef, topped with bacon, beef brisket, cheddar cheese and Jack Daniels sauce. Extra napkins please! YUM!

Blue Skye Brewery & Eats is known for its brick oven pizza, but their excellent burgers hold their own! And you can substitute a 6 oz chicken breast for the 1/3 lb burger if that's your thing. Our pick...the burger topped with pepperjack cheese, bacon, chipotle aoli, pickles, siracha and...peanut butter. Yep, it's a keeper!
