F.R.A.G. is hosting another event on Saturday, April 24th from 3pm to 11pm at the VFW in Preston, CT (5 minutes from Foxwoods Casino).

The last event was a huge success. We had tons of contest and tournament winners. Everyone had a great time.

And this next event is going to be even bigger and better! We are open longer. We have more games to play. We will be selling hot refreshments. There will be local vendors in attendance with merchandise to buy. Of course there will be tournaments and challenges all throughout the day.

The cost this time is down to $10 in advance (or $15 at the door.) Vendors can contact me about renting a table.

If you'd like to see pictures from our last event, check our new website:
www.RetroGameFederation.com

You can email me with any questions or to get tickets at the cheaper price.

I hope to see you there,
Luke

Less than 3 weeks left! I'm very excited that we'll have merchants there this time. All the details are coming together nicely. The tourneys and challenges are going to be awesome. We'll also have a world record holder at the event. He holds records in Jackal, Trojan and Street Fighter II to name a few.

I hope to see you there.

I'd love to go to this. Sadly, I work Saturdays (at Foxwoods, no less) and have no way to make it. Although I may see if I can swap a day with someone...
