Game-a-thon... Raising money to help kids
« on: October 31, 2015, 00:47:07 »
I hadn't ever noticed that there was a fund-raiser geared toward gamers. Not interested in joining a walk-a-thon? How about a game-a-thon? Check this out... An event is happening in Pinellas county next weekend! http://www.gamersontheedge.com/

Here's a photo from the event... the upper section of the image shows the massive game of "Are You A Werewolf?" which started at midnight. I was just off-camera to the left. In the bottom right, you can see me standing up over the left side of the table playing Carcassonne. I didn't win in either of those games, but I did manage to win the Atari tournament that I was in earlier that evening. We played Combat, Fishing Derby, Joust, Pole Position, and Donkey Kong. I was undefeated for each match that I was in!

Also, it was great to see that such a fun event was able to raise so much money to help out kids. Not only did they meet their goal for the event, but they nearly doubled it! Very cool!
