With almost 14,000 people at this year's Children's and Families of Iowa's KidsFest, we were very excited to see almost of all them check out the Gathering of Gamers area. We had one of the largest productions at the event and it was all devoted to video gaming!We saw a ton of new GoG members of all ages join us and we enjoyed playing a wide range of video games on our 9 gaming stations at the video game event. People of all ages were interested in this video game community and we had a great time spreading the word.
We also held a small Guitar Hero 3 Tournament on Saturday afternoon. The announcement went over the loud speakers and people came flocking to join the free event for kids UNDER 17. We had around 25 rockstars compete and a special congratulations goes out to Jack Lepic, who won the tournament! He then proceeded to challenge the winner from The GoG IMAX Tournament and was able to see what he had to work towards, as RyuBlitz beat him by around 100K points :)
A special thanks to BEN, Andy, codeh4x0r, Mersad, RyuBlitz, Othersider, Jodie, and Hax9000 for their support as GoG Staff at the event! With that many gamers rolling through our gaming area, it was great to have some awesome help from this core group of gamers. They helped keep lines moving and taught new comers how to play the games.
We hope to see everyone at the next big GoG event, but until then, enjoy the photos and videos from this weekend full of fun on the GoG KidsFest Profile!
