Through the years, Delos "Pockey" Weseman has artistically designed and created hundreds of handcrafted checkerboards and checkerboard game tables in his garage workshop. 

"Originally, when I started 10 or 12 years ago, I made them to donate to St. Mary's Fall Festival," Weseman told The Press. "I will give them to anybody that has a fundraiser that I know of. They are not for sale. If they want one bad enough I will gladly give them one or two."
