Our Family Game Room                                  

 
 

It's  TIME!

Let's boogie and have some fun!

 

The popcorn machine was purchased in flea market in Port Charlotte in 2001 for $25.00. A great buy!

 
The antique Coke cooler was recently added to the game room, it features two top doors and has a galvanized tub for ice and water to cool the Coke. The cooler is made by Westinghouse, called the "Standard Ice" and was built about 1934-38.  Westinghouse, following in the footsteps of the Glascock Bros., developed in 1934 a new line of Coca-Cola coolers, both innovative in design and construction. Working with Everett Worthington, an industrial designer and Coca-Cola engineer, this new line proclaimed to be "far ahead of anything which has heretofore been developed"

   

These are photos of our Game Room, which is the first place our grandchildren visit. With a 45's jukebox, Super Nintendo, Sony PlayStation, Lego's and many board games it is an area that keeps our families together enjoying playing, eating popcorn and of course drinking Coke.
