The Countdown to Winter Weirdness is On

Posted Monday, January 3rd, 2011 at 9:03pm

The Church of the Good Shepherd in Barre, Vermont, site of Winter Weirdness 2010.

Today I took a trip down to the counties of Washington and Orange to spread some Winter Weirdness handbills and Green Mountain Gamers cards on any bulletin boards my eyes lighted upon, particularly in Montpelier and Barre. Gamers eat, buy gas and drink coffee, so maybe some folks who haven’t stumbled across the site will learn about the opportunity for twelve hours of tabletop gaming goodness this coming Saturday in Barre.

If there’s a geek hangout in your corner of Vermont that needs to know about the upcoming Winter Weirdness game day, you can download a PDF copy of the flier and print it out yourself. Or save some trees and email it directly to those interested parties.

While ambling around downtown Montpelier, I also picked up the $50 gift certificate so kindly donated by The Book Garden as a first place prize for the Ticket to Ride tournament. The Book Garden has a fine selection of tabletop gaming materials for sale, in addition to their selection of books, so the winner of the tournament shouldn’t have any problem finding something good to take home. Rick mentioned he’s sold out of Ticket to Ride at the moment, so I guess people are boning up for the big one.

See you on Saturday!
