WEX Club

Winter has come to the Kempton clubhouse with blowing snow and freezing weather. It has also had a new paint job. The Arizona clubhouse also had some snowfall and a snap of freezing weather. Nearby Sedona and Flagstaff actually had some snow accumulate. There has been some pinball trading and we recently acquired an X-Files pinball game, which came out at the height of the television show’s fame, 1997. We traded and sold a few of our games, including Ghostbusters and Whitewater. One of our trades was for a Star Trek the Next Generation pinball plus we got a new Star Wars Mandelorian pinball game earlier this past summer.

The bookstore in Illinois is open so take a drive and visit. Stop in and play the new pinball machine at the Kempton bookstore: Legends of Valhalla. It is a great game featuring all the Norse Gods!

My latest book is just coming out: The Bigfoot Files: The Reality of Bigfoot in North America. It is packed with the latest in bigfoot activity. It includes the Bigfoot FBI files and an 8-page color section.

My previous book, Andromeda: The Secret Files, is doing well. It covers the bizarre history of German flying saucer research and the mothership called Andromeda. Order a copy today!

We had a great trip to the American Southwest starting on September 11. This trip went to Casa Grande, Sedona, Jerome, Montezuma’s Castle and Well, Tuzigoot, and the Meteor Crater. We spent a couple of nights at the El Rancho Hotel in Gallup and then went to Chaco Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, the Hopi Mesas, and the Grand Canyon. Everyone had great time. Maybe we will do a slightly different version in the future.

We are planning a trip to Athens and then to the Peloponnese and Delphi to look at the many megalithic sites in Greece in May of 2023. Give us a call or send an email if you are interested in this trip. Check out all the details at: https://wexclub.com/events
