Hey guys! This weekend we’ve got Deaf Awareness Day happening to help us kick off Deaf Awareness month. You might have seen some of our presenters that we’ve got coming and thought, “That’s a little boring.” But hey, we’ve got some fun stuff going on too, so come on in and let me show you what we’ve got.
So here I am inside GG Mobile Gaming’s truck! Pretty cool, huh? We have so much going on! We’ve got Nintendo Switch, we’ve got Xbox, we’ve got all the games you could imagine or want. We’ve got four different stations inside the truck, and can have up to 24 people playing at the same time. So come on down, have some fun!
Now, you might see the inside of the truck and think, “That’s a bit of a tight squeeze.” We’ve got two stations outside, so you can bring a chair, you can stand, you can sit on the ground. But we’ve got twoo more stations so you don’t have to be cramped.
So, come join us. We’re gonna be here on Deaf Awareness Day from 12-2pm, on August 26. So come on! Let’s have some fun and celebrate this day together!
