Is anyone going to this event this weekend? I was planning to play myself but lost track of time. I'm still undecided if I will come down for the day and watch some of the matches or not.

I'll keep an eye out for both of you if I go. Is there a list of vendors that may be there this weekend? I didn't see anything on the site.

It was a small turn out. Allen ran two events on about 30 tables; the Valley Forge Barbox event and qualifiers for his Million Dollar 9 Ball event, simultaneously. Everything was on the lower level and 2/3's of the space was occupied by the local APA "cities" event. Only a couple of vendors and no action on the action tables.

It reminded me of the original Expo, when it first started. It was small-ish, but grew exponentially. This one has potential too.

I think Hopkin's success will be to stay with his original business model; run it along side of a large league event. A lot of the barbox touney players were also there for the league event.

Shane Winters won the barbox event.

Thanks for the update.

I’ll have to plan ahead next year. I had a few things come up so I was not able to make it.
