Happy Holidays from all of us at WIBHOF!

What an incredible weekend! Congratulations to our newest Hall of Famers, Duncan Kaufman, Peg Ledman, Terry Romine Sr., and Kevin Stanelle. We had a blast celebrating you and hope you had a memorable night!

Thanks so much to Kendal Koch and the staff at The Mad Apple. It was great to go back to where WIBHOF started in 2018. You knocked it out of the park for us... not to mention taking down the entire banquet room in a blink and setting up 5 more pool tables for us! We will definitely be back in the future!

Special shout-out to the entire board who helps make all the decisions behind the scenes, and put in a ton of work to make this year's banquet a success. Kudos to Gregg Andler, Kelly O'Heron, Jan Maglio, Priya Nataraj, Claudio Parrone Sr, and Tim Ruenger.

Special thanks to Mike Panozzo, editor of Billiards Digest for being our amazing guest speaker for our event! Some great stories and inspiration for us all!

Thanks to Roxanne Andler and Priya Nataraj for taking photos throughout the event, and others who have already submitted some great photos to us! Also thanks to Charles Horan for video production. We are working on a PPV/Rental option for viewing this year and past year's banquets as an alternative to DVDs.

Thanks to Doug Garn for his continued support and donation of time and running the Compusport software for us. He's an amazing Tournament Director and we couldn't have done it without you!

Lastly, thank you to all of the members of WIBHOF! We couldn't do it without you! To see the growing support is awesome and I wish all states had what we have here in Wisconsin. The billiards community in our state is so special. We had 130 members in attendance for the banquet and about 85 more that played in our tournament.

Congrats to our tournament champions:
Banks - Mason Koch over Maynard Hebert in the finals
Willie Munson Ring Game - Matt Daiber and Tim Ruenger (split)
Lower Division 8-Ball - Spencer Rolph over Rodger Pregler
Upper Division 8-Ball - Duncan Kaufman over Neight Mindham
(Anyone think Duncan had a fun weekend?)

We sure hope we didn't miss anyone, but on behalf of the WIBHOF Board of Directors, thank you all for a great event! See you all next year on October 18-20th up in Oshkosh at The Varsity Club and the banquet at the Premier Best Western Waterfront Hotel.

Watch our website for voting for the Class of 2024 which will start sometime this winter!

Take Care,
WIBHOF Team

Never too soon for a SAVE THE DATE!!!
