Tomorrow (Wednesday) is your last chance to catch some of this year’s Kankakee Holiday Tournament. The annual basketball tournament is now in its 59th year.

The event has even been dubbed the unofficial “goof-off destination” by Kankakee Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bill Yohnka. In making the announcement this morning via email, Yohnka wrote:

I do not generally advocate “goofing-off” but this morning it is my honor to announce the Kankakee Holiday Tournament as the official Kankakee Chamber of Commerce Goof-off Location for 2008. For 59 years now the tournament has been an un-official goof-off destination for those in the Kankakee area business community but for the first time this year it has official status as such (Keep in mind, this is a completely arbitrary designation/honor that I made up this morning.)

The first game today is at 9 a.m this morning at Kankakee High School and continue all day today and tomorrow. Goofing-off aside the tournament, is a result of a lot of local hard-work and a great tradition and showcase for the school and our area.

A schedule for tomorrow’s games, plus results from Monday and today, can be found at www.khtbb.com.
