Greater Peoria Chess Foundation

The GPCF is the driving force behind Peoria Chess. We provide sets and boards to the local school chess programs and tournaments and activities. The Foundation supplies the fiscal muscle to promote chess in the Greater Peoria area. Our youth chess programs involve 100s of youths of various ages and have included the state champions both individual and school team. See our web site for more details on our services. The GPCF is proud to have obtained the bid for the 2021 All Grade and hope you enjoy your stay.


St. Mary's School

St. Mary’s School is the only Catholic Grade School in Woodford County. We have educated children living in the Metamora, Germantown Hills, Washburn, Washington, Eureka, and Roanoke areas for over 135 years. This is a tradition we are very proud of and one that we continue to build on as a faith community and family.
