Twin Cities Darts Association History -- "That First Year"

36 Years!
(and Counting)
1974 – 2010

The T.C.D.A. didn't happen by accident.

When you consider that a new player today is issued a membership number approching "4000" upon joining our organization, we doubt Ed Otjen, the T.C.D.A.'s Founder and Executive director, had any idea so many lives would be touched as a result of his "brain-storm."

From all of us, Ed, a special "Thank You" for your undying efforts and uncanny vision…"way back when."

You can follow the emergence of the T.C.D.A. by reading Ed's recollection of the birth of our organization. His 18 page "Chronicle"…
"That First Year"
is offered here for your enjoyment .
