March Break LAN Recap - Next LAN: May 16th. 2008!

Our March Break LAN has successfully finished! We had an awesome crowd out, ran 3 tournaments, had lots of fun, and gave out lots of prizes!

Niagara FragFest staff would like to thank our crew, the great guys that helped us set up, and take down the event, the gamers who gave us tips during the night, Performance Computers, Club Social, The Tribune, and of course the attendees that came! As always, the only reason we do these LAN parties is to get together with the greatest gaming community there is! Thanks! For a list of the winners from the tournaments, and all of the pictures we can get our hands on (coming soon), check out the Events section!

Now where would a recurring LAN group be without a date for the next one? Niagara FragFest is pumped to announce NFF2 on Friday May 16th 2008! More prizes, more gamers, more sponsors, more bawls, and more Chicken Dances!

More details are coming soon!
