About the Founders
The
Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown started as a means to gather the already
strong and growing pinball culture along the Colorado Front Range and
surrounding states.
 Dan and Holly Nikolich worked to turn his growing pinball hobby into an event designed
to share the hundreds of colorful themes and innovative designs of
pinball machines and to interest a new generation of pinball fans.
In its second year, Rocky
Mountain Pinball Showdown was set to welcome the nation's pinball fans
to play on 118 pinball machines, challenge each other in six
tournaments, exchange ideas in a series of free seminars called
Pin Chats, and have tons of pinball fun over three intense days.
“Watch the people at the show. There are fans at our
event who played pinball at their local pizza joint when they were kids,
and there are hardcore pinball collectors with complete home game rooms.
The show is a vibrant, eclectic demonstration that pinball culture is
alive and growing,” says Dan Nikolich. “Pinball fans come from every different background, but they
all get the same rush when they hit multiball.”
The 2008 Rocky Mountain Pinball Showdown
welcomes you and your fellow pinball fans to yet another three days of
pinball fun with over 100 pinball machines representing an entire era! April 25-27, fans
can visit the Jefferson County
Fairgrounds in Golden, Colo., minutes outside of Denver.
As always, come introduce yourself at the show, share
your favorite pinball story, and ask pinball questions. If we can't
answer, we'll find you an expert who can. We look forward to meeting you
at the show!
In addition to putting together the
pinball show, Dan works full time as a civil engineer for the
government, and Holly works as a real estate agent and for the University of Colorado Foundation.
We'd like to extend a special thanks to our family,
friends, and the local pinball community for your longtime support in
helping us make a great pinball show!
