organized the Chess Nuts Open in Moorhead Oct 20-21, 2007. Nearly 60 players participated.
Daniel Oberton had the best result of the Manitobans with a fine 4 out of 5. (But he was lucky, he didn't have to play any Manitobans; Blair played three and most of us played 2)
Crosstable can be seen here .
Here are some pictures from the Chessnuts tourney in Fargo-Moorhead, Concordia College.
Unfortunately most are out of focus as I did not use my flash as I wished to be as unobtrusive as possible. However, they will give you an idea of the great conditions.
Long view of the tourney hall (all except top 6 boards). There was also a large and separate skittles room.

The top 6 boards were located in a separate room. Extremely spacious !

The Manitoba - Minnesota match trophy. The match was first contested in 1937. Alas, there were very few games between the teams this year.
The trophy traveled back to Minnesota.

Blair Rutter lost a long game in the 4th round
