Gauging interest and possibly looking to put together a Pinball Tournament /Fundraiser in St Charles Illinois either late this year or early next year at the Arcada Theater in St Charles. Pitched it to Arcada Theater's owner and he likes the idea!
Proceeds of the event would go to a established charity to be named at a later date. Looking at Teenage Cancer America !

Event would be held on a Sunday starting late morning and continue throughout the evening.
-The days events might include:
-Entry fee into the event- TBD, but would be reflect price of other shows. Goes to good cause!
-Pinball Tournament- all day on the Arcada stage
-Free Play area- pins provided by local pinball community, 20 -30 machines
-Live band Playing all Who songs- possibly after tournament.
-The Movie Tommy and Kids are All right Playing in the theater behind the tournament while the tournament is going on.
-Silent Auction on pinball items donated by the pinball community.
-Raffle for a brand new pinball machine
-Cash bar and food
I would also be looking for people to run the tournament, Help out in any way or form, bring pinball machines for the free play area, Donate cool Pinball artwork, one of a kind items or very Rare one of kind pinball items for silent auction.
If you have have cool ideas please share them or if you want to help with the event please PM me!
Again just gauging interest to see if it is worth doing. Please vote
