If my dads spirit is up and running it will be at this show. I spoke with my mom last night and we agreed that he needs to have at least one of his machines there.

We've booked a room for Friday night and will be participating in Friday and Saturday's festivities. After this coming week; before dads memorial on Saturday we should have an idea of what games of dads will be at pin-a-go-go to let the organizers know to arrange transportation. We are hoping to have a list of games for sale at least a week prior. Thank you to everyone who has expressed interest in owning part of my dads collection and to everyone who has reached out to help.

Yes we will be keeping some of his collection. It was his life work and a love of passion. I ordered this for my game room which will be a tribute to him.

My dads spirit will be at the PAGG to play if you want to put them there.

I'll have ones at the swap meet that were my dads that he polished himself for his games.

getring ready for Saturday morning.

Oh behalf of the Charland Family we had a great time and our only regret was not attending sooner when our Dad was still with us. This show and this community meant so much to him. It was great after so many years putting faces to names and we are honored that so many people are wanting a piece of his collection. We really appreciate everyone's support. There is a lot more work and sorting to be done to get my dads collection down to a manageable size to relocate to Boise. The amount of help has been invaluable between Cliffy, Joe and Steve helping us at home sort through items, Jim's generosity to bring the pins to the show and his help throughout the entire weekend, Steve's help getting dads Spirit up and running (I'll admit I cried multiple times cleaning it) Eric, Seth, and Chris for putting up with my thousands of questions and toad voice by the end of day one. And all the great friendly faces who shared stories and tears of my dad. We had a great time and intend to return in following years to keep my dads legacy alive.
As for the burning question of his Spirit it did not meet reserve but a deal and heart felt conversation was struck and we agreed to Sell to Don to keep it in the Pinball Family. You will see his Spirit at future shows.

Once again thank you everyone for your support and showing us the amount of love that everyone had for Our Dad. See you all next year.

For your enjoyment a picture of the Charland girls beating one of dads best friends.
