Cue
When asked about herself Pam responds, I ve been playing pool for about 23 years. Currently playing 8 Ball for the 72nd Street Pub, Tacoma, Washington. Playing pool to me is a lot of fun, challenging and is a very good way to show confidence in yourself. Even if you lose, On the Break is a great paper to read over and over. There s so much information and promotional opportunities. See for yourself, Everyone s A Winner The contest was a huge success. There were entries from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, California, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming and even one from New York. Total entries were 1,091. The drawing took place at the offices of On The Break the 16th of July at 12 Noon. The staff witnessed the drawing by the publisher Don Cheese Akerlow and the lucky winner was Pam Soulier of Tacoma, Washington. We would like to thank everybody who entered the contest and made it a success and encourage you to look forward to the next one. Another cue contest is in the works which we will be giving you further information about in future issues. This contest will cost nothing to enter and we will be giving away a high dollar stick. Pam was very please with her new Viking cue. Both Pam and On The Break would like to thank Viking for sponsoring the cue giveaway !
