Arcade Weekend

This great event is for all gamers out there – teenagers, children and their parents, whole families. There will be many systems set up to play, from the old school Atari, Nintendo, and Sega consoles to newer systems like the Wii U, and our new Arcade1Up Centipede cabinet!

Stop by on Friday, July 19 between 3 and 5:30 pm and/or Saturday, July 20 from 9:30 am to 4 pm.

In Memory of Alexander Butta
