NWPAS is looking for more people to volunteer their pinball machines for the show on June 2- 4

(From a recent facebook post:) Hey folks, right now it looks like we have alot more arcade games than pinball games coming to the show. We need your help to get more pins to the show! Please consider volunteering a bunch of pinball games, especially 90s, 2000s, and newer era games. We need you all to help make this show fun for the general pop, tournament players and collectors!
The games list is here, you can see what’s coming and click on donate games to sign up your games: https://www.nwpinballshow.com/games
You can get free passes, prize drawing tickets, game pick up and delivery, etc. if you volunteer games. You all help make this show happen!
