It is with great news that I am announcing a great little game show that will be a fundraiser for a local cause. It will be called Cowlitz Gamers for Kids 2010. The show is Sat May 15th, 2010 from 10 to 6. It is the first annual fundraiser for Childrens Justice and advocacy center. After talking about it for years, I have finalized to get two rooms secured at the Red Lion Hotel. Each room is about 30' X 32'(960 sq feet ea.) and adjacant to one another by a small hallway. I got both rooms out the door for just under $500. Clean, simple, fun. This game show, Cowlitz Gamers for Kids, will be a fundraiser for Childerens Justice and Advocacy Center http://www.co.cowlitz.wa.us/prosecutor/. The center runs on donations, and helps work with abused children.

Initial Details so far: 100 percent admission will go to the Center, as well as any any additional donations vendors want to give. I will have room for about 20 6'x30" tables for vendors to start with. This will allow a space for a small game system museum and three rows of console play areas. There will be a small tournament on Mario Kart 64. The time of the show will be from 10 to 6. Expectations are to get 100 different people to attend. I will have 55 commerative atari carts with custom labels made for the first 50 people to dontate at least $5.00 to the Center(Admission will be donation of choice). 5 of the carts will be offered online auctions(a couple here and three on Atariage). Only two of the twenty tables are accounted for. One table will be for Classics(Coreys429) and the other for the Center.

This will mostly be an obvious local show, but for all who can attend, it will at a time that will not interfere with any other shows in the area. I welcome all members to this show, and would love to meet some of you in person.

Coreys429 not 26 lol, anyways This is something of his that he has been wanting to put on for a long time now. It goes for a good cause locally and I fully support the idea. It's not going to be a CGE but its going to be something local which people can get together and play the classics for a good cause.
