It's the 5th Salty Mermaid Cup Pinball tournament here at the Merry Time! Play starts Saturday at noon..all spots sold out in about an hour, but it's tons of fun to come hang out and enjoy the vibe and watch some terrific players.

We want to thank Zoey for flying in all the way from Boston to run things and Chris Rhodes of Wedgehead in Portland for bringing more games and helping out.

That's Todd(Of the TnT behind the Merry Time) in the photo posing with the trophy. Todd has been playing pinball for nearly 20 years. When we moved here 12-ish years ago, there wasn't much going on for a pinball enthusiastic like him, so he bought machines, curated our lineup, and works on all our machines. Since then, places like Galatix and North Coast Pinball in Nehalem have opened, Gizmos Arcade around the corner has more pins, and Astoria Pinball organized.

So, if you enjoy all the pinball and see Todd around, let him know. He has worked hard at it for years.

Due to many contributing reasons, this will likely be the last Salty Mermaid Cup.
We hope y'all have fun and make some grest memories.
