Who’s afraid of a little snow?  Not APA Support Representative Alex Gooch who recently joined APA Consultant Bris Robinson on a field visit to the Akron/Canton APA (akron.apaleagues.com) during what news outlets were calling “Snowmageddon 2011”.  It really wasn’t as bad as all that.  Alex (pictured at right in the first panel) can be seen with Local League Operator Scott Nelson (at left) moments before challenging the elements on the way to Fiddlestix Billiard Café in Canton, Ohio.

Upon arriving at Fiddlestix, APA met up with owner, manager, and billiard professional Chris Szuter (pictured at far right).  Chris was busy honing his skills for the upcoming Derby City Classic, but he’s also working with Scott to introduce more folks to APA’s Wednesday night traveling 8-Ball Division in Canton/Massillon.  He and Scott also have their sights set on a Monday night Double Jeopardy Division that’s in the works.

This is where APA member and new Area Manager Sherry Wagner (pictured with Alex in the second panel, and with Scott and Chris in the far right panel) steps in.  Sherry is a great shot in her own right and is no stranger to APA play—let’s just say she’s a lot better than Alex.  She also loves promoting the sport of pool and is working closely with Scott to grow APA in the Canton/Massillon area.  (Shameless Plug Alert: If you call Canton/Massillon your home and aren’t playing APA, call Sherry!)  What better way to avoid the snow than playing APA while enjoying a beer at Fiddlestix?  Stay warm out there!
