Directions to Cumberland fairgrounds and the Hammersmith Complex,:
From Altoona, take Rt. 220 South for about 70 miles. As you near Cumberland, look for the green overhead sign saying exit 68 West, 220 South. Exit and follow this route for 4.6 miles. This will take you through Cumberland on the crosstown Bridge. As you go up the hill out of Cumberland, look for another green overhead sign saying Exit 42, 220 South, McCoole Keyser. Take this exit to the stop light. Go left to fairgrounds-still on Rt. 220 for 2.7 miles. Go to SHOOTER’S Bar-south side. Turn left onto Moss Avenue for .4 miles. Cross tracks and turn left. You are there.
If you pass a gas station or get to the prisons, you missed your turn onto Moss Avenue. Just before you pass Shooters, there will be a TATOO sign on left. Don’t confuse this with a tatoo sign on the right you passed earlier.
Game times are 11 a.m.
