For The Observer count
As part of the "Take The Buckin' Pool Tournament" series this spring and summer, the Jon Howton Memorial Pool Tournament is ready to kick off 11 a.m. Saturday with what could be a special twist. Chute #7 games will be played at both Chute #7 and Beer and Loathing. Howton was a long time APA member and a team captain for many years. In 2011, Howton and Andy Linder won a trip to the 8-Ball Doubles National Championship in Las Vegas.
