Who doesn't love a good game?

Well, I think it is time to talk more about what you get to do at Irish Fest...

My favorite thing to do in my free time is play board games with my friends.  It is time to compete (because who doesn't love to win at something?); it is a time to gab with friends; and it is a time to learn.  Fortunately, all of these things can happen at Irish Fest bingo.  Come with a group of your friends or even your parents, grab a game board, and pull up a chair.  In the kids' tent we have special Irish bingo.  Instead of just numbers on a board like in normal bingo, my friends at the Irish Fest made special bingo cards.  They are filled with pictures and images of all things Irish.  Some of the pics are recognizable like a shamrock, but others are people or places famous in Ireland.  For these pics, the bingo master will hold up a copy of the picture and then give you some details as to why that picture is in Irish bingo. 

                                         
      This is a picture of a friend of mine playing bingo at Irish Fest.
   She got her face painted by our amazing artists and then settled in to play some bingo!


So, you can play a game, gab with friends, and learn...but that isn't all. We play until we have two winners of bingo. Those winners get $5 in Irish Fest money to spend at our Irish goodies booth. But, you will have to wait until tomorrow to find out what is at that booth. My friend didn't win bingo, but she did buy some of the goodies at the booth. The stuff she got was awesome!
