Local billiards hall hosts tournament to benefit family affected by March fire

RICHLAND, Pa (WJAC) — A group of local pool players came together in support of a family that lost their business and home in a fire earlier this year.

Three-dozen players competed in a doubles’ tournament at Mully's Billiards in Richland, with proceeds benefiting the family that owned Jim’s Place Bar and Grill in Windber.

A fire destroyed the restaurant back on March 4th.

Organizers say they wanted to raise money to help the family replace some of what they lost.

The tournament was initially planned for March but had to be pushed back because of the pandemic.
