Witches’ Day Out at the Museum, Stern Army edition was boo-tiful!

Congratulations to the tournament winners, Abby, Andrea, and Meg for the 1-2-3.

Katie won the random drawing for the Walking Dead translite, thank you, Stern Pinball, for supporting the women’s division!

Keela brought a pumpkin bar cake and we ate the whole thing!

Sharky dropped by and we were all so happy to see her and admire her latest pottery creation.

🎃One of the random drawing prizes was a set of Halloween dish towels that glowed in the dark.

🕷️And a spider parked itself on the tournament screen, totally appropriate for the theme.

Our next Girls’ Day Out at the Museum is November 8th. 1-4 pm. We’ll do a puzzle swap.
Women’s Division pinball is for all ages and abilities. The tournament is always optional. The Idaho Pinball Museum is at 1104 N Cole Rd, Boise

Thursday Night Strikes! Another fun night enjoying pinball together. This happens because of the warm & friendly people who walk through the door. Be sure to say thanks to the people who volunteer to fix & clean games, floors (and bathrooms!), operate the streaming rig, play the music, and do all of the things it takes to make this magic happen. Congrats to Dwayne/Aidan for finishing 1/2 in the tournament, and thanks to everyone who came out to play. ~dwayne
