We would like to thank the Carney brothers for helping us with the event. Priming 300 pieces of scenery is a huge job, and having an auto body booth next door to my shop helps a lot! These guys have been my neighbor at our business building for over 20 years.

If you need auto body work, an insurance fix or custom painting, then make sure to check these guys out.

We will be hosting the Chris Bledsoe Memorial Charity Auction on Saturday night (November 7) after all scheduled gaming. All proceeds will go to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. As Chris was very involved with the gaming industry, many of his past friends and co-workers have already volunteered donations. This outpouring of generosity from industry professionals means that the auction will be full of one of a kind items and unique opportunities for the gaming community.

Be sure to check back soon for new listings! You may also email Jeremy Webb, the auction coordinator, at entropus@yahoo.com for more information.

Some of the current items that have been donated for the auction can be found in the brochure, with many more items that will be in the Silent Auction.
