The World of Pinball

My family and I never owned a pinball machine growing up in Nashville, Tennessee.  I’ve since lived in Virginia and a few places in Missouri but currently reside in Branson Mo.  My pinball passion started with a friend of mine that said he owned a pinball machine.  My first response was "Wait ... they still make pinball machines"?  I went to his house and played a very nice Data East Star Wars machine ... I was hooked and immediately started to search for our first family machine.  A Sterns Monopoly was the first pinball machine that we purchase the family LOVED it. We have since sold and purchased many other machines but our family now has a true love for the Pinball world.  We attended our first pinball event in 2013 (Texas Pinball Festival) and while we have not been able to attend every year it's always on our vacation list.  It's wonderful to have a hobby that continues to bond my family and friends as we love competing against one another.  Overall we have had a wonderful time entering the Pinball world as a family and look forward to may years to come. Excited to see what pinball machines will be in our families future.
