Regional get togethers like the Fifers held can help to fill this gap. We have visited most of the large cities that have numerous collections to visit. It has become difficult to find venues for COCA National Conventions. Many thanks to John, Linda, Brian, and Melissa. There was plenty to eat and drink for everyone, including some yummy coin-op themed cookie desserts. Several of the guests brought machines for sale. As an added bonus, their son Brian and his wife Melissa also opened their nearby home to view their extensive collection.
The Fifers have a fine collection of machines and other collectables. More than 40 coin-op enthusiasts were in attendance. Making a Summer Day special, on August 6th, 2023, John and Linda Fifer hosted a regional COCA gathering at their home in Medina, Ohio.
