14TH ANNUAL PINBALL LIFE EXPLOSION OPEN HOUSE!

This is the day we bring the party!

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.

Tickets are going fast for the Friday event.

We are about half sold out after 12 hours of sales. We must limit this to 200 people due to the space available at our warehouse.

We want thoses that do attend to be comfortable.

All ticket proceeds go to the JDRF charity, but when the tickets are gone they are gone, so fair warning to all.
