New Gaming Home

The Grand Re-opening of All Fun & Games at the new spot was a resounding success yesterday. Seriously, it vastly surpassed any expectation that I had for the event. We had an estimated 500+ customers pass through the doors throughout the day. Additionally, we had our largest sales day in store history (that's 8 years for those counting) to include our best Christmas season to date. Granted, the 25% special that we were running for the event likely contributed significantly to that, but still. Wow! Thanks to everyone that made the effort to come out and see the new place on our big day!

I have to give *ALL* of the credit to Bobbie and Vivian, though. They busted their butts to make this happen and they deserve all of the congratulations. Thanks, for that matter, go to the horde of volunteers that helped us with the move and setup. That effort was almost just as amazing as we learned how many true friends we have made over the years. You guys were an amazing help. Without you, it could not have been possible.

Speaking of volunteers, we have a new store website thanks to one. Check it out at http://www.AllFunNGames.com. It is *vastly* superior to that piece of crap I had built in a matter of minutes with FrontPage just so we'd have an internet presence. Mad props to Christi.

So, if you live in the area and are insterested in boardgaming, join us on Thursday nights for our boardgame night. We have about 30 regular attendees and are typically there until about midnight. The new gaming space is a little more than twice the size of the old. Good times all around.
