Introduction

Meet Aaron! You probably recognize him from his awesome Auctioneering skills. He has been one of our primary Auctioneers since he began Volunteering in 2014. What you might not know is that Aaron is one of our FallCon Organizers and has a role in our External Events team which helps promote FallCon and draw attention to our amazing gaming community at a variety of events throughout the province each year. He is also the driving force behind coordination of judging and presentation of the CDGA ("Canadian Game Design Award") each year. Aaron is definitely a "lifer" and has been attending FallCon in some capacity since 2004!

Vertical or Horizontal?

Aaron stores his games horizontally. He professes a strong fondness for a particular shelf type. Nope - not Kallax, not Billy... it's "Hejne shelves for life!".

Memorable Gaming Experience

Aaron's best gaming memory was: "A super, ultra, epic munchkin tournament. Every game and expansion released, shuffled together. Played to 20 levels with 8 people total. 7 stacks, piled 2.5 feet high!".

Thank You!

Thank you very much Aaron! We are so appreciative of all you do for FallCon.

Vertical or Horizontal?

Angela isn't particular when it comes to game storage. Her philosophy is "However it fits on the shelf!".

Memorable Gaming Experience

Angela's most memorable gaming moment happened during a card game on the living room floor with her grandmother and brother: "Gran got dealt a winning hand - no mercy! You knew if you won in a game with her - and played first. Brother and I both shouted in tandem "I get a turn!", only to be reminded that it was a sudden death game and we actually didn't. Will never forget."

So many of us can relate to those special, hilarious, endearing, joyful gaming moments with friends and family Angela! Thanks for sharing!

Thank You!

Be sure to send a special thank you to Angela for her incredible dedication to the Auction and her involvement year-round on the organizing committee!

Thank you Angela!
