Howard County is conveniently located along I-95 between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, a mere half-hour drive to either. With wonderful restaurants, historic sites and towns, a great variety of hotels, and pristine athletic fields, it is not a surprise that many national tournaments are held within the county.
