Description of the Committee:
This is a great event for everyone! We fill the hall with 250 people trying their luck at playing bingo to win a Vera Bradley Bag. Band friends, girls night out, sporting friends, and even some guys come out to try their luck to win presents for the girls in their life. Some bring appetizers/dessert. Food is sold too. There are 20 games for $20 plus 3 Special games and raffles. Mr Hess ( we hope to pull him in again this year) and the male Band models sell 50/50. The boys really get into it and ham it up in between modeling each bag. Lots of fun had by volunteers and players alike!
