Just a few things to consider about our next game night, which is Saturday, October 13th, 3-9 p.m -- just around the bend....

CALLING ALL COW-POKES AND COWGIRLS! This is your chance to show off your western duds and sample some authentic cowboy chili -- all at our October GAMES! "Old West" theme night.

But wait, before you get your spurs in a spin, let me explain just exactly what a "theme night" means. First, it is always an OPTIONAL thing; you do NOT need to participate to attend. Second, for those who do participate in some way, they may win a prize, in this case, a gift certificate from the kitchen (for some of that knee-slappin', hat-tippin' good chili). And third, we'll have specific areas considered for prizes. For The Old West Night we will be looking for the best dressed cowboy, best dressed cowgirl, and possibly a few competitive cowboy-game winners. So, consider coming dressed in your best western duds -- you might even get a chance to wrangle a few broncos and rid our town of some pesky varmits. Add an accent and you're sure to impress the judges!

From the kitchen window: We're slimming down our menu for this next event to make sure we have plenty of what you want to see. If you have suggestions, please let us know (we WILL have that Diet Pepsi requested last time). This month's delectables will all pretty much be campfire fare, so bring your pesos and hearty appetite! Check out the column to the right, In the Kitchen, for a soon-to-be-announced finalized menu.

And finally, we've come to realize everyone doesn't necessarily like either board games or large group games! So to make these events as game-extensive as possible, we're hoping to add a jigsaw puzzle area and a dedicated area for those serious chess and checker players. This will also allow those who come in late to occupy their time while waiting for a game to open up. If you have other suggestions, please let us know. As space/ability permits, we want these events to be for YOU, our guests.

Looking forward to a great time on the 13th!

would it be alright to bring a western themed game like Bang! ? http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/3955

Sure. Please do! I looked at that game at the last CRGCon, looks like fun.

you should do a facebook invite

What would this involve? How does one go about it? Would it attract people from this area?
