Pinball at the ‘Zoo community: I, Alex Harmon, would like to announce that my family and I will no longer be running Pinball at the ‘Zoo tournaments or assisting with show operations. (And in case you stop reading, yes the show and tournaments will continue - more information below). We have had a fantastic run with PATZ, being involved for over 10 years in some capacity, but it is time for us to focus our efforts on other areas of business and personal matters. This decision does not come lightly, as we deeply care about this show, the pinball community, and the sport as a whole. We hope you have seen our passion shine through as we have worked tirelessly to create a welcoming, laid-back, and fun atmosphere for all who love pinball.
PATZ has been a source of many amazing memories and friendships for all of us. Like we have said before, it is truly the people that make the show and tournament what it is, and we are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to build something that has had such a positive, lasting impact. While we may be stepping away, Kevin Ketchum plans to continue to run the show as he has in the past and Josh Mitoska has agreed to run the tournaments, so please continue to show your support to both of these great guys. If you are looking for the Harmon family, be sure to check out our arcade in Fremont, Michigan – Clubhouse Arcade . We wish the show well and hope it continues to be a source of positivity and growth for the pinball community.
