Have you ever been to a church festival? We hold those all the time, but not for the same reason as most of the other places. While our congregation holds various charity events throughout the year, we like to hold them for specific families who are in need and attend our church. This year we needed to find some sort of Texas Holdem Poker Table Felt.
It's always nice to hold an event such as this one because there are various charities willing to help out. Our situation consisted of needing as many poker tables as we could get our hands on. Eventually through several discussions and a little barter and trading, we were able to get ten poker tables. They were old and rugged, so it meant we had to do a little work on them. Everyone had a job from scraping, rebuilding, painting, by our was to do a little shopping. My job was to find some inexpensive Texas Holdem Poker Table Felt.
We only had about eight days before the weekend came, so everyone was definitely behind. In order to get what we needed fast I headed to the Internet and looked all over the place. The biggest problem I came across was being able to stay within the church's budget. Then again, I still had to find something that would be beneficial. It was definitely something that was going to be hard to figure out.
Thanks to tons of coffee and a few red bulls, I was able to search for 18 hours straight. The story itself would probably put you to sleep, so I'll make it short. After I stayed up until about 3am, I found a place that would give me enough felt for every single table. One of the reasons I picked this particular Texas Holdem Poker Table Felt was because of the color, but the authentic betting lines, durability and price all had their roles in it.
More importantly, we needed an additional benefit. Even though we had 10 tables donated to us, we had those old styled folding tables for extra play. However, we wanted to be able to put felt on these as well, even though most places didn't offer a setup for this type of assembly. Let's just say the tables were from the stone age, and we didn't expect to find a plausible answer.
However, the Texas Holdem Poker Table Felt we found offered a normal 36 x 72 inch cut, and the ability to staple it to a homemade table. While we didn't consider these homemade, we do have a carpenter and interior decorator who attend our church who were willing to work together. The end result was as if we just purchased brand new tables. They definitely went way beyond our expectations.
In the end, the event itself was a complete success. We were able to raise enough money to purchase the family a new home with an affordable price, get them squared away physically with health insurance, and set them up with enough food to last them the year. While I don't want to divulge too much about them, it was a great event that helped them tremendously. We couldn't have done it without the Texas Holdem Poker Table Felt.
