Joss Tour Rides to Hippos

Congratulations to stop 13 winners Bruce Nagle ($1,000 main event), Frank Sorriento ($330 second chance event) & David Dumas ($1,500 Joss Cue raffle winner)

Stop # 14 will be at Hippo's The House Of Billiards in Utica NY on April 8 & 9. This event was originally scheduled to be at Salt City Billiards, but do to the recent fire there it has been moved to Hippo's. We would all like to thank both Andrea Duvall at Hippo's and Frank Delconte at Salt City for keeping this event alive on our schedule.

Andrea has elevated Hippo's to the next level with a new web site www.hipposyorkville.com, a new Facebook page, delicious homemade food specials and now free Wi Fi. Hippos has 12, 9 foot Gabriel tables and 8, 7 footers, all covered in 860 Simonis (The Cloth Of Champions). She has made Hippo's a true family fun destination spot, and has even held many events and functions for our junior players! So come to Hippo's to show your support and be treated to yet another great 9-ball event. You may even win a $1,500 custom, engraved Joss Cue in Hippos cue raffle, Anyone can participate and you do not have to be present to win! We will draw the winner of the cue on Sunday just before the final match. The Joss raffle cue can be viewed here:
