Board game convention to raise money for homeless teens

A 48-hour board game convention this weekend in Pasco will raise money for My Friends Place, the Tri-Cities’ only teen homeless shelter.

The event, called “conFUSEcon,” is Sept. 1-2 at the Pasco Red Lion.

The nonprofit Tri-City Area Gaming is coordinating.

“We’ll have a bunch of games on hand and available to check out from our game library. In addition, you should feel free to bring a game that you'd like to play or teach to other people,” the event’s website says.

Giveaways and a silent auction also are planned.
