    We have had a plastic ladder toss for 2 years and want to move up to either a steel/medal frame or wood, any opinion on what would be the better choice?

  • When do you Play?
    Written by

    So first as a builder for sale this time of year is slammed with orders but I was wondering in general how often do you all get together and play what ever your favorite game is? We all still try to play atleast once a week usually on Saturday night but the more orders I have to fill (which is a good thing) the less I feel like playing in the little bit of free time I have. Do any of you make it a point to get out and play these games or is it just during events or gatherings?
