Event: "Atari Party" in Davis, California: Sat June 11, 2011

[billkendrick]

The third annual Atari Party brings four decades of Atari history to the Davis public library, from 12pm to 5pm on Saturday, June 11th. Hundreds of games on dozens of various Atari computer and systems -- from the collections of volunteers from near and far -- will be available to play. Learn about the early years of home computing and video games with various displays, books and presentations.

Attendees will have the chance to win a variety of prizes during a free give-away drawing: t-shirts, video games, books, and even complete working Atari computer and game systems.

During the event, the documentary file "Once Upon Atari" will be screened; and at the end of the event the 1984 spy thriller "Cloak & Dagger" will be shown.

This event is completely free[*], and open to the public. Children are welcome, but must be accompanied by an adult.
