Like to play foosball?
Now here's a chance to really get into foosball.
The Grand Coulee Dam Area Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Harvest Festival will feature a live, human-size foosball competition at Banks Lake Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 19.
It's a case of humans becoming the pins in a real foosball shootout.
"It's the newest, and most hilariously fun, addition to our ever-popular Harvest Festival!" the chamber's website says.
Teams of six can enter the challenge with a registration fee of $30. To register, contact the chamber office, at 633-3074 or register online at the chamber website.

Games last 15 minutes. The team with the most goals wins and advances in the tournament.
Some of the rules include:
• Players must keep both hands on their assigned section of the foosball pole at all times.
• Players may not move along the length of the foosball pole or switch positions with other players during play.
• Players must move together from side to side; however, no player except the goalie, is permitted to move forward or backward.
• No player except the goalie is permitted to touch the ball with arms or hands.
• The ball must remain below the poles and no physical contact is allowed among players.
Check out the video at the above website to get a feel of the action.
The chamber is encouraging people to contact friends and relatives and organize a team for a lot of fun and action on Sept. 19.
