Local DJ Pat Gallagher is a bit of a Renaissance man. Aside from his interest in music, he sure plays a mean pinball.
On Wednesday evening, the Maridon Museum, 322 N. McKean St., resurrected its Collectors series with Gallagher’s presentation on the inner workings and history of pinball machines.
Attendees had the opportunity to play three vintage games from Gallagher’s larger collection and learn about the rich history of the game, which originated in the 1800s.
