After last year’s inaugural Mihiderka Pinball & Food Festival<\/a> – the world’s only combined pinball and vegan food event – we are back at Printimus Pinball in the southern Polish town of Bytom to enjoy the burgers and the flippers for a second time<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Printimus<\/a> is a full-service printing company based on a light industrial park on the outskirts of Bytom in the Silesia region of the country. While printing is the main business, the building also houses a nice collection of pinballs ranging from 1977 Gottlieb four-players such as Bronco<\/em> and Jungle Queen<\/em>, through to Jersey Jack Pinball’s The Hobbit Smaug Edition<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Printimus is owned by Marcin Krysi\u0144ski while the Printimus Pinball<\/a> section is run by joint Polish IFPA Director, \u0141ukasz Dziatkiewicz who is also president of Polish Pinball Association (PSF)<\/a>. Together they would host a main pinball tournament, a classic tournament, a JJP tournament, a magic-themed tournament and a Dig-Dug<\/em> video game tournament.<\/p>\n

Mihiderka<\/a> is a Marcin’s family-run vegan restaurant which began as a single operation in Gliwice near Bytom but has since expanded to three locations with a fourth opening soon and further expansion on the cards.<\/p>\n

So, the three-day event gives a unique opportunity to combine competitive pinball with the best in plant-based cuisine.<\/p>\n

But before we get to any of that, we left the Printimus building for a ride to another unique business based in the nearby city of Katowice. On the way there we drove through the city of Chorz\u00f3w. The city was a sponsor of the Mihiderka Pinball and Food Festival, providing prizes to the winners, and even included pinball in its promotional video (something which is very unusual in Poland) to businesses looking to invest in the region<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
