Although &#8220;HB&#8221; seems like an unlikely choice for a paintball tournament (not a paintball park for miles around,) the hoteliers discovered back in 2003 that when the city hosted this event for the first time the hotel rooms were nearly 100% booked. That&#8217;s something that rarely happens in March &amp; April. So 11 years later the city renewed this paintball event&#8217;s contract for 3 more years of festivals.
