Thad's Pinball Wizard Challenge: a Tournament to benefit the Madison County Animal Shelterπ Sunday Sept 22
πππ πππππ
Thad Seeberger was a lifelong gamer and expert technician who became friends with our owner Paul Yates over discussing complex game fixes, PCBs (printed circuit boards), and vector monitors. He was a true Pinball Wizard! Thad ran a pinball and video game route in VA and MD, co-founded Alltek Systems' product line of pinball PCBs over 20 years ago, and provided help to anyone and everyone who had a game they needed help with to fix. When he passed suddenly in 2021, we at Decades wanted to keep his legacy alive through a tournament that honored his dedication to the industry & spread his cheerful passion for gaming.

Everywhere Thad went, he brought his beloved dog Luna, a deaf black & white border collie. Our beneficiary is the Madison County Animal Shelter, to assist them in their mission of reuniting lost pets with their owners and finding adoptive homes for stray dogs and cats in the Madison County community where Thad lived.
In addition to raising $, we will also be collecting cat and dog food, peanut butter, cat and dog toys, towels, and blankets to donate to the Madison County Animal Shelter, so bring in what you can! Here is their wishlist: https://a.co/6ciGTRW
