Chris Walsh

On April 25, 2021, the Northwest Pinball & Arcade Show family lost one of the amazing people who brought the show to life. His innovative spirit and kind smile were a constant reminder of the meaning behind the show. Chris always emanated the child-like qualities that made the show into what it is today. He made sure that the show gave back to the communities in which the show took place. He also ensured that all the people who came to the show felt welcome. He took the time to get to know all the volunteers who donated their time and games, and Chris always encouraged those around him to use their imaginations to make the show better. Chris could always be found “scooting” around the show and giving out some special cans of Almond Roca! We continue to carry on his legacy!
