I apologize for the short notice, but we will be unable to hold our December 10th event as planned.
Due to scheduling conflicts with the majority of the attendees we have decided to postpone the event to a later date.
You can still give to Haven of Rest this Holiday season though by visiting their office or by giving your donation to one of our founding officers. We will gladly deliver any donations you have to Haven of Rest.

Retro Arcade Clothing Drive, December 10th!
We have finalized the date for our clothing drive this December. Mark your calendars for Saturday December 10th! We'll get things started around noon with competitions beginning around 1pm.
Admission to this event is either a bundle of clothing/shoes or 10 dollars. These donations will be made to Haven of Rest in Bristol TN. For more information on Haven of Rest please visit their webpage here: http://www.bristolmission.org/
The theme of this event is retro gaming, so expect to see your old favorites from the 80's and 90's era of gaming. This is not limited just to video games though. If you have an old board game you'd like to play bring it and we'll run through it with you.
Competitions For the day so far will include:
Star Fox 64 Royal Rumble - Enter your name and see if you can outlast all the other competitors.
Sonic Generations Green Hill Speed Run - See how fast you can run through Green Hill Zone act 1.
Other competitions are tentative and will be announced soon. Please note that you do not have to participate in any competition. We'd just like everyone to enjoy themselves and play the games they so desire, and there will be plenty!
Directions to the event are as follows:
413 Shelby Ln
Bristol TN 37620
Take interstate I-81 and get off of exit 3.
Stay going straight on Commonwealth ave. It will eventually become Volunteer Parkway.
Before reaching Big Lots you should see a large BB&T building on your right. The left turn onto Shelby Lane is almost directly in front of the BB&T. Go up the hill and it'll be the first house on your left. You should see a lot of cars already parked in the yard, please park in the grass near the other cars.

Disc Golf tournament postponed
Due to the feedback we've received about this summers heat wave, we have decided to postpone the Disc Golf tournament until the Fall when things are cooler.
We're sorry we had to postpone things, but we've had several players who were unable to finish an entire game due to the summer heat and we would like everyone to be able to compete as comfortably as possible.
We'll keep you posted on Disc when the new tournament rolls around. Stay tuned though as we should be having another video game related event before the end of summer.
