Dirty Bingo at The Getaway
Dec 29 @ 6:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Dirty Bingo at The Getaway (White Duck Taco before Bingo)

This is what it sounds like. It’s Bingo using suggestive words, and winners get suggestive prizes. I have attended one, and it’s pretty tame, but not for the easily offended. We will meet at White Duck Taco down the street at 6:30 in the parking lot for a quick meal. If you want to skip the meal, you can meet us at the Getaway at 8:00pm when Bingo starts. There’s potential for great fun!

There are prizes at the end of the season, plus we hold other events such as potluck dinners, costume contests, a weekly 50/50 raffle, practice and coaching sessions, a food drive to support our chosen charity, Loving Food Resources, and other outside events to help build and maintain a community of friends here in Asheville.
