Tom Ross Fundraiser Where Pool is Cool “Cueing Folks with Strokes” Benefit Pool Tournament presented by Melissa Little and the Wynkoop Brewing Company: On Saturday, July 9th, 2011, a pool tournament will be held at the Wynkoop Brewing Company in Denver, Colorado to benefit Tom Ross and the Boulder Community Hospital’s In-Patient Rehab Center. The event will feature a grand prize of a 9-foot Murray Californian Table donated by Ross himself. There will also be a silent auction, challenge the pro matches with Tom and friends, an awareness campaign featuring professionals from the BCH staff, and Melissa will be honoring pool players who have suffered from strokes/brain injuries. This hopes to be the first of many events to benefit the new organization, Cuing Folks With Strokes, founded by Melissa Little, house pro at the Wynkoop.

Welcome to The Pocket, where pool is cool and so are you. Shelly (me) and Carl “Wormo” Wormsbaker invite you and your friends to come enjoy a game or two of pool. We have been here since 2002 although The Pocket has been around since the 70’s. We are probably the closest thing to a Mom/Pop sort of pool house even though you have to be 21 to enter. I have a lot of “kids” that even call me Mom! I’ve even been known to lovingly scold my “kids” if they get too unruly or I catch them smoking over the pool tables. We have 12-7 foot newly covered tables to choose from and even a 10 foot snooker table. Recently we purchased 48 new scorpion one piece cues for your playing pleasure. Here at The Pocket, we believe you, the customer comes first. We want you to have a great time with us. We strive to provide a clean, fun place to come and kick back. Trouble makers need not apply. We are always trying to come up with fun events or specials to make your time with us memorable. This year we are going to be the official Boise Hawks fan base in Twin Falls. Fun bus rides with tickets to purchase to Hawks home games are on the agenda. We run lunch specials Monday thru Friday from 11 am till 2 pm where you can get a great deal on some delicious food plus get to play pool for free. A few hours after the Lunch specials are over; happy hour kicks in when you can get $1 off Pitchers and well drinks. Monday night is Men’s night. Come in and find out how you guys can get free pool. Tuesday is a very Special Day and Night. Tuesday we have an in-house special of 50 cent tacos and $2 Coronas all day long. It is also our Ladies night. Come in ladies and ask how you get free pool. Wednesday is kind of wacky. We are going to hold random drawings in the summer months for door prizes starting at happy hour. Wednesday night is also the weekly handicapped 8-ball tournament starting at 7 p.m. You can sign up by 6:30 the night of play. It is a fun tournament that only cost $6.00 a person. The field is limited to the first 20 players due to time constraints. Any Wednesday tournament with 16 or more players, The Pocket will add money to the tournament. Friday and Saturday nights are fun busy nights. Get here early to get a table. The internet jukebox is usually playing non-stop. Saturday afternoons we are going to do weekly tournaments for you players starting at 1pm. Sign up start at 11 a.m. and tables will open for practice. The 1st Saturday of each month will be a mixed doubles tournament. The cost will be $10 per couple and a $5 green fee. The 2nd Saturday of the month will be a women only 8-ball tournament. The cost is $10 per player and a $5 green fee. The 3rd Saturday of the month will be a No Big Dogs tournament. The fees are $10 per player and $5 greens fee. The 4th Saturday of the month will be an Open 8-ball. The fee is $20 and $5 greens fee so come on you Big Dogs let’s play some pool. The occasional 5th Saturday of a month will be a Women’s Big Dog Tournament for $20 and $5 greens fee. For you seniors 55 and older, we will have a Sunday Tournament at 1 pm for $5. We like to give back when we can. I am always willing to donate table time for a worthy charity or fund raiser. So come see me if you have a worthy fund raiser or benefit that you’d like us to host tables for it. Carl is the league operator here for the BCA player’s league and we average about 18-20 traveling teams. It is a lot of fun. We’ve even had local teams go compete in the BCA Nationals in Las Vegas. Come share a joke and a laugh with one of our staff. And believe me they like a good laugh and you’re apt to get a good laugh too. Come say hi to Henry, Troy, Ashley, Sheri, Tonya or Stacie and let them take care of you. I will personally be your cook Monday thru Friday and Coleen will make sure you are taken care of as well. We are always glad to offer a smile and a light of your smoke. Yes, smoking is still allowed in bars in Idaho for the time being but we have 4 smoke-eaters to scrub the air to keep it as comfortable as possible. You, the customers, make The Pocket great. You are some of the nicest people I have ever met and I thank you for being a patron of The Pocket. ---------Shelly Wormsbaker-The Pocket in Twin Falls, Idaho
