Trios, anyone?

By Ty Hughes

Everett 's Cactus Moon Saloon may very well be the busiest dart bar this side of the Pecos . Each and every month features an aggressive line-up of dart-related events at the Moon, laid out for all to enjoy.

Paul and Robyn, Cactus Moon's owners, along with their infamous dart coordinator, Cindi, and a host of incredibly efficient bar staff, are poised to satisfy your every need. The Cactus Moon has a widespread reputation for being on the leading edge of coming trends. Local businesses will often fashion their promotional undertakings after the competent and proven techniques of this amazing powerhouse.

One of the monthly events that has become a mainstay for the Cactus Moon, is their $750 Added Trios Shoot. Typically reserved for the second Friday of each month, this trios event has become quite a draw for local dart players. The eighth of December was a special day at the Cactus leading up to the tournament. It was the one day of the year that Sean McGee, Tom Williams and Jim Hestkind of Harvest Darts sponsored their annual Christmas Dart Sale at the Moon. Always a popular event for dart sales, this year's event drew more interest than in years past, posting record sales, much to the excitement of the Harvest Darts gang.

After a successful day of dart supply sales, everyone settled in for an enjoyable night of dart competition, and the players poured through the doors, complete with partners in tow.

Cindi welcomed all of her regulars and introduced herself to several new faces as she took sign ups and prepared the charts.

The Cactus Moon is a premier dart house in Everett , with ten Avanti boards along one wall in a dedicated, sunken dart room with tons of roaming room. Smiles and laughter fill the bar as memories are made within these walls.

We were proud to host a supposed first, when three very pregnant ladies all showed up to join in the fun. Mary Jo Cruz, due on December 25, Ramona Willey, due on April 13 and Kim, due on April 26 sat discussing the particulars of their pregnancies. We wish them all the best and uncomplicated deliveries of our new generation of dart players.

If you play darts and you enjoy a good time, you've got to come check out the Cactus Moon. This place, and, more importantly, the people, grow on you, and next thing you know, you'll want to make the Cactus Moon a regular stop on your dart route. See their ad in this issue of the Medallion for all upcoming events, including their monthly Birthday Shoot, set for the first Friday each month, where all those celebrating a birthday that month get free entry into the tournament.
