Electric Alley Arcade was held during January at Millcreek Common Public Market. The area was turned into an arcade with games from years ago. Lights, bings and bells all sounding off depending on the machine being used.

People came out to enjoy themselves with family members and friends at the table hockey game, Pac-Mac, Donkey Kong Jr. and the Skee-Ball machines to name a few. 

Admission was only $5 with unlimited game play. 

Roberto and his daughters Bellanice and Elaina from West Valley had heard about the Electric Alley Arcade and decided to venture out to play the games. Bellanice was getting good at playing Skee-Ball.

Jody Buttars and his son Will are from Millcreek and selected the Donkey Kong Jr. game to play. “This is one of the games we played together as a kid on a Nintendo 64,” Will said. “We are challenging each other,” Will’s father Jody added.

Maria, Evo and Hunter were here to ice skate and then decided to play some arcade games too. There was a special deal that if you paid to skate, you were automatically able to play the arcade games for free. Hunter claimed to be the best in their group.

Ben, Hudson and Zander were out playing Pac-Man. “It’s crazy we just played tonight for the first time ever and it is insane,” the group jokingly said.

Meg was working the desk at Millcreek and said this is the second year we have offered the Electric Alley Arcade and it has been popular. She indicated that there is talk of having the arcade during school breaks and possibly twice per year. It is a little cost prohibitive as of now but if there is a way to make it cost neutral, they will have the arcades multiple times.λ
