Pin-a-Go-Go in Full Swing at the Dixon May Fair Grounds
Pinball machines galore at the Dixon May Fair grounds
I took the opportunity to wander down to the last night to partake in some pinball madness.
It's all going down at Pin-a-Go-Go, a pinball show and flea market where pinball lovers gather and play some pins.
There are close to 200 machines at this event, all being operated on freeplay. We had a blast last night playing some of the more obscure pinball machines, such as one based on country-western superstar Dolly Parton, and some pinball machines that are more technologically-advanced such as Super Mario Brothers.

I didn't get a chance to play the Indiana Jones pinball machine, but I did play the one based on Star Wars. Fun times!
Pin-a-Go-Go is more than just an event for pinballers, it's a fundraiser that benefits our very own . The Teen Center is a great community resource that helps teenagers find safe, fun and cool things to do in town.
