Who Won the Latest Prize from Fun-E-Ball?

It’s time to highlight the latest player to win a bouncy ball from Fun-E-Ball at Trends N Treasures in Murray, Kentucky.

Keeley Collins of Benton nabbed her prize just before close on Saturday, February 15th. Full disclosure: She is a friend of mine whom I have known since 2019, so she wasn’t completely uninitiated on what it is I do. That said, this was her first time playing the game.

With this latest win, I wanted to remind everyone that…well, anyone is eligible to be featured on Wilcox Arcade. Just snap a photo of yourself holding your Fun-E-Ball prize – or call me to come take it for you – so I can post it across all my social media outlets. (Note: I will not always be available to take photos but will make a concerted effort to be there if necessary.)

This promotion is just one way I’m trying to bring together the arcade community, while also making Wilcox Arcade itself more exciting. Because I have crippling main character syndrome, being featured on social media will always be appealing to me. I’m curious to what extent this will extend to players who do not face my affliction (i.e., normal people).

My email address is wilcoxarcade@gmail.com; my phone number is 270-484-8161; and my contact form is accessible on this very website. I’ve also claimed the @wilcoxarcade handle on pretty much every platform under the sun. Basically, I want to be as accessible as possible.

Fun-E-Ball is the coin-operated machine I’ve owned the longest – and one that makes me very happy – so I’d love to see it making you happy, too. Bring a smile to a young guy’s face in the midst of him taking over western Kentucky by sharing your spoils with me.

Long story short, Fun-E-Ball continues to hold down the fort at Trends N Treasures on South 12th Street in Murray, Kentucky. Its video game counterpart Centipede will function again soon. I sent the printed circuit board inside it to a repairman named Eugene Mosh, who is well-known for his high-quality work. Now, we play the waiting game.

Thanks as always for visiting my blog; thanks to Keeley for playing my game; and everybody make sure to follow me on TikTok. It’s like…my latest push.
