I'd like to announce the following pinball event in Fairfax, VA at the Best Western Hotel. Opens Friday 2p Feb 22 through Sat 10 pm Feb 23. Anyone can come and play pinball for fun or in one of the tournaments. Some of the best pinball players in the world will be in attendance. But we also have a B division for novices or intermediate players. Approx. 30 pinball machines from the 70's to the latest 2013 machine from Stern Pinball.
