BINGO Night Recap – Friday, September 13, 2024

We had our first BINGO night on Friday, September 13, 2024! It was a fantastic time, with a decent turnout, but as always, we wish it could’ve been even BIGGER. More people, more energy, and more fun – that’s always the goal!

Throughout the night, we had multiple winners who walked away with some great prizes, including Walmart, Target, and Chick-fil-A gift cards. It was amazing to see so many happy faces, and we’re already looking forward to our next BINGO night.

Don’t miss out on our next BINGO Night – October 18th! Bring your friends, bring your energy, and let’s make this one even bigger and better than before.

Thank you to everyone who came out, and we hope to see you again on October 18th for another night of fun and prizes!

Below are some of the Winners
