LIBERTY HILL – The office of family owned Game Shows To Go was almost an instant business casualty of the COVID-19 shutdowns. Being in the live event business they lost three months of future bookings in just three days. “We had over $50,000 in bookings cancel on March 12th alone! That’s a lot for a small company like ours”, says C.J. Johnson, co-owner of the company. “We were in tears, I was literally throwing up sick knowing that I was going to have to lay off our 5 employees, who are more like family” he added. “I didn’t even want to answer the phone anymore as every time it rang it was more lost business.”
