Wow... Total as I'm digging through some old boxes of tournament gear. These items are from the 2003 Charity Challenge for Spina Bifida & Hydrocephalus Association of Ontario.

Do YOU remember..?

It's been a long time coming! 26+ years since The Snowman Series began back in my days at MBS & Balmuto's Triangle [Closed 2002]... and I have always wanted a fireplace mantle to display some of the classic custom trophies we created at Ace Awards with "The Trophy Guys" Dave Kirby & Bill Trendov.

That dream has now come true and several have already been unboxed and polished up... with throwbacks to 1999's Top Cue, the 2002 launch of The Charity Challenge with SBHAO, and even the inaugural Cosplay Cup from 2017 at Pegasus On Church.

As an added bonus, the Charity Challenge beer steins, featuring digital artwork by Texas artist, hasmve taken their honoured place amongst my other Brewery glassware.

Watch for NEW Snowman Series events in the New Year!

Five years and a million lifetimes ago. Pacific Junction Hotel closed down less than a year after our last event there. Shame there's nothing like it now. -- Eric

The Snowman Series has always promoted social events for ... and for fun and games there's no place like our featured partner, Pacific Junction Hotel! Designed to be a cross between a youth hostel and the coolest basement rec room EVER... join us for a collection of wild pub games and throwbacks like Twister, Jumbo Jenga, MEGA Yahtzee or 80s-style retro video games... or raise a glass of one of our unique draughts while sampling some international flavours from our DimSum menu.

Fans of the Original events should recognize the awning in this photo that was once the entryway to Toronto's at 17 Balmuto Street... which later became the entrance to our .

18 months after Balmuto's closed down, construction on building in December 2003 caused a wall to collapse in a tragedy that took the life of a student, and required both buildings to be demolished and replaced entirely.

I find Vintage Toronto is getting harder to navigate and just has too many albums. I started a few groups that stick to one subject. The newest will be Defunct Toronto Bars. - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1032164553844676 - Next is Defunct Toronto Theatres - https://www.facebook.com/groups/1779297402235016 and a few years back I started Chum Charts - https://www.facebook.com/groups/617256678471471 - Please join any or all of these groups. Nothing will change with Vintage Toronto. Just noticed that we have over 130,000 followers now. Thanks to everybody who has stuck with us all these years.

We're BACK in ACTION!!! Post-Covid regulations have slowed us down, but not stopped us... We're expanding into Durham Region and working on details of our first activities of 2020 with and at the forefront. I think once bellowed "You may mask our faces... but you can't our !!!" (Of course I'm paraphrasing.)

Most exciting is that our will feature than ever before! for details !
