Last week, as part of our Great 8 contest, we were Llive on location in Middle Lake at the Multi Plex for their Car Bingo fundraiser! They're raising funds for that awesome Summer Kitchen going up in Lion's Park right beside the Multi Plex, and each dollar raised in the fundraiser counts as a vote for Middle Lake come August when the contest opens to a vote.


I showed up around 3 o'clock as the crew at the Multi Plex were just setting up the event. They had asked for 50 volunteers to help them out at the event, but I don't think they were expecting the numbers that showed up. It was a fun event all around, with the volunteers having as much fun as the bingo players!


The original plan was to begin selling bingo cards by 6, but people had started lining up by 5:30. (That's around the time I took the picture you see above) They raised an incredible amount of money! So much so, that the community of Middle Lake has decided to make Car Bingo an annual event!
