Eden Prairie Lions Club Schooner Days, May 30th








The Lions Club annual fundraiser , Schooner days is an absolute ball! Games, rides, donuts from the Hopkins Lions Club, beer and BINGO! were the highlights of the day---I had no idea how into BINGO people would be on a Saturday afternoon! I had so much fun calling BINGO with Lions member ,Gary Stevens, at my side showing me how the BINGO machine worked and I loved interacting with the players..including these teenage boys who kept telling me which numbers they wanted so that they would win! The funny thing was, that I did pick the very number they asked for TWICE!

Several of the Winners came up to get their money and did a "BINGO dance" along the way which was really funny! A group of Eden Prairie Senior boys were a lively bunch, keeping us entertained. During my final game, we brought out "the Magic Box"..where the winner would come up and choose from 3 different doors--one with $40, one with $60 and one with $100! Believe me when I say everyone was excited about that prospect! Thank you to the Eden Prairie Lions Club and Dennis Tully for allowing me to call your Bingo Game! I only wish I could have stayed up until 10:45pm to play Cover All for $400!! See you at Corn Days in August!
