EDPA Great Lakes Chapter celebrated the life and legacy of one of our own, Walt Queen of Queen Exhibits, at On Par Entertainment in Dayton, OH during our 1st Annual Kingpin Classic, it was an honor. With the support of Walt's family, friends, and industry family we were able to raise $9,810.00 that will benefit and go directly to the Queen family. The evening was filled with unforgettable stories about Walt, through laughter and tears too. We miss you Walt and you will not be forgotten.
Thank you to everyone who attended, donated time, services, money, raffle prizes and sponsored this event, we couldn't have done this without all of you.
