OTB Tourneys in My area

So I have been here on Chess.com for a couple of months now and am loving it.  My rating is stabilizing into an area that I can live with and proving my mediocrity. I'm ok with that as I am getting better and learning from some great coaches here. 

I have a goal to play in the Army (US) Chess Tournament but feel like I need to get significantly better first and will need to develop some OTB playing skills.  The problem is that I am in a remote location and there are no clubs within hours.

I'd like to get into a tournament somewhere in the midwest and spend a weekend getting my butt kicked.  Does anyone have info on upcoming OTB tourney's?  Minneapolis and Chicago are within four hours drive.

      Chicagoland is a great place for chess  There's a public chess structure at North Av. Beach on lake Michagan.  I would ride my bike there long ago. Near my old hometown, Glenview, is Northbrook ,home of Micheal Jordan and the Northbrook Chess Center.

    Best thing is to join the USCF and you will be notified about local tournament life.

    Don't know if you got an answer about local OTB tournaments. Check out USCF as it has a link to clubs, regional and national tournaments. Good luck!
