Huntley, IL
15TH ANNUAL PINBALL LIFE EXPLOSION OPEN HOUSE!
During the Chicago Pinball Expo we will be holding our annual Open House.
This will be a two day event with a different format each day.
Thursday, October 17th from 10am-4pm
Free admission
Over 40 games on free play
Free non-alcoholic beverages
Free light lunch and snacks
If you are more about having access to the machines and parts and don't like crowds, this is probably the day for you to attend. We expect this to be a low key, mellow day, comparatively.
Thursday’s event includes the use of laser lights and strobe lights. If you have an aversion to either of these things then this is not the show for you.
Friday, October 18th from noon-6pm
This is the day we bring the party!
This will be a charity event with all entry fees being donated to The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
Admission $20

We are issuing entry tickets for the Friday charity event simply to control the amount of people who attend, as over-crowding has been a concern for many who have attended in the past. A maximum of 200 tickets will be sold. 100% of the ticket cost will go to assist Team G (Bryan and Deb Kelly, and their grandson, Gordon) in their continuing efforts to fight juvenile diabetes.
More info about this charity can be found here - http://www.jdrf.org/research/
