RAFFLE

Congratulations to Scott Szczesniak for being the lucky winner!

Scott left just before the drawing, so I don't have a photo of him with the artwork. I did box it up for delivery to him. He then sent me a photo of the piece installed in his gameroom!

My friend Colleen Finn is an amazing artist and digs pinball. She has graciously made something wonderful again this year (see the photos below)! You can also watch a video here to see the color changes!
