When you’ve been set up to lose everything you love, what is there left to fight for?
As the day dawns on the fiftieth annual Hunger Games, fear grips the districts of Panem. This year, in honor of the Quarter Quell, twice as many tributes will be taken from their homes. Back in District 12, Haymitch Abernathy is trying not to think too hard about his chances. All he cares about is making it through the day and being with the girl he loves. When Haymitch’s name is called, he can feel all his dreams break. He’s torn from his family and his love, shuttled to the Capitol with the three other District 12 tributes: a young friend who’s nearly a sister to him, a compulsive oddsmaker, and the most stuck-up girl in town. As the Games begin, Haymitch understands he’s been set up to fail. But there’s something in him that wants to fight . . . and have that fight reverberate far beyond the deadly arena.

Hello friends, as you know I've mostly stuck to hosting this event once a month during the cooler months. I will continue hosting other events, and others may step in and host ping pong from time to time, but this will be the final of the regular ping pong event series unless somebody else picks it up.

If this is your first time, still come and hang! We are a good group and have other events posted.

The venue has 4 ping pong tables, a cornhole area that can support 4 games, shuffleboard, foosball, good food, good service, and a great community!

Things to know:

1. Jenn will not be hosting an adult crafting table this time if that is something you are looking for.
2. Street parking usually fills up and be careful for residential permit zones.
3. Valet parking is free, don't forget to tip!
4. Paddles, balls, and bean bags can be checked out from the host station if you drop off an ID.
5. Please buy something to support the venue.
6. The event has no set end time but 2 hours is a safe bet for solid play, although there are always people hanging out afterwards.

Hope to see you there!
