Can this photo get added to the gofundme to show what might have been? Maybe also the walkthrough video?

Re: OPGS GoFundMe Created!
Just looked, $2750 by 46 donors!!
So cool this hobby,
such a cross section of different people, all there for one reason primarily. Very cool.
The passion for Pinball I saw last weekend I had never seen live in person before. Only my second pinshow ( opgs 15 )
People unloading and setting up on Saturday with no power. That act alone to me describes a lot.
Josh, we only met Friday morning when things were looking normal. I introduced myself, shook your hand and you were very welcoming.( I did bring timbits) You allowed me to help as much as I was comfortable with. Very cool. I'm no guru but I tried to help Guard and tiny rodent and pinhead as much as I could without getting in the way.
Consequently I got to meet a bunch of folks, See my old friend from high school days Dirty Donny ( flashback ) . And hear some good stories. I think I also bought a night rider........
Anyhow, what i saw last weekend I want a lot more of, just add a few hundred amps.
You sir, are a MADTITAN.

I have to be honest, I really didn't think we'd break through $2K. I am so glad the pinball community is proving me wrong! On our way to $3K! This is really going to help keep the show going! Keep those donations coming!!!

FYI... I lowered the campaign goal down to $8000. Josh had given me $7000 + some outstanding invoices so I had the goal at $10K. However, I didn't want the goal to be too far out of reach, and $10K seemed a long ways away from $7000. I didn't want anyone thinking we were asking for more than was required. The goal amount has proved to be the most difficult thing to keep balanced in this campaign. Maybe I'm just overthinking it...
I also posted the link with a quick blurb in the Canadian Pinball Thread on Pinside and pointed them to dr nybble's thread.

Re: OPGS GoFundMe Created!
I honestly can't thank everybody enough for all this support and generosity. The list of donors is incredible! It has been logged and will be kept close to me forever. In better times, I will return the favor in some way or another. Firstly, I need to make sure that OPGS 2019 is a real banger!
This community on MAACA is directly responsible for every endeavor I've had the gumption to take a stab at. There would be no OPGS, no House of Targ, etc. Without this community there would never have been a PINCON or Hawkesbury Flea Fair, and I'm sure many of you on this forum can pin maaca on a 6 degrees of separation list to something incredibly positive in your lives. I'm just blown away that after all these years to come full circle. The community that inspired the direction I would take my life is now the community saving it.
I quite litterally owe you everything MAACA

Re: OPGS GoFundMe Created!
Sorry to have heard what happened. I hope no one got injured and everyone is safe now. It's times like this I wish I had a FB account as it's quite powerful to share such a cause and spread the word. I've seen this was posted on Pinballrevolution and Pinside which is awesome. Good luck!

Yeah no offense to the games in my basement, you're fine games, but playing them in my basement doesn't compare to joy of sharing them with everyone else.

Over $3700 dollars raised! Outstanding!
Question: When should the campaign end? I was thinking midnight Sunday but I am open to suggestions.

Re: OPGS GoFundMe Created!
We are close to breaking $4000! I am simply amazed by the generosity of this community. Donations are coming in from all over, not just our Ottawa locals. It is wonderful getting to experience this first hand. Thank you to everyone that has donated!
As per your suggestions, I will be keeping the campaign alive until Oct 5th @ 12:00AM.
