BINGO – Olón Style

November 2, 2010

Last Saturday night, a special event was held in our Olón Park to help raise money for the local Olón Orphanage, which included wonderful entertainment and BINGO games to raise money for the kids.
There are many who have a heart for these children.
I have written before about the gringos who have taken these youngsters under their wings.
 

Bingo cards were sold before-hand to raise money for the kids. The night of the occasion was rainy and dreary, but the local and expat turn-out was standing room only.
 
It was a wonderful evening, with GREAT entertainment before the games.
Instrumental in helping pre-sell the bingo cards were several expats.
Todd and I were there until about 8PM, when we had to leave just as the BINGO games were starting. We gave our cards to some local kids before we left, and I hope some of them won a prize or two.
I did get a fairly decent video of one act --- SEE LINK BELOW:
For the time being, I am unable to upload videos directly into posts, so please click on the link below:
