Trading

  • During the event guests can come in and trade Pokémon cards with their fellow trainers
  • The trade portion of the event is free for anyone to participate!

Setup

  • Put your basic Pokémon in place face down – 1 as your active Pokémon and up to 5 on your bench

    Funny, but I just got home from playing Pokemon GO. My daughters got me involved in Pokemon about 19 years ago and while we don’t play the card game these days, two of my girls and I are still very much into the games. I like the Pokemon Let’s Go, Pikachu and Eevee! Bundle that is being offered at Gamestop. I’m just very disappointed that the closest location for the event this Sunday is over two hours from me, so obviously we can’t attend.

Hey there — nice to meet you!

I'm Tara: mom of 5 teens/tweens and one 80-lb. Weimaraner, who fancies herself a lap dog. Born and raised in Ohio (GO BUCKS!!!), my fave things include cooking + baking, my JEEP Rubicon, the 4x4 beaches at OBX, and checking out the local craft beer scene...
 
As you can imagine, all of this puts a good dent in my monthly budget. So I've learned how to save on the things I NEED, so I can spend on the things I WANT. Read more.
