Polar Bear Bingo jackpot estimated to exceed $1,500
People from throughout the Green Lake County area and beyond will be coming out of hibernation for Polar Bear Bingo, which is sure to make winter a little more “bear”-able.
The bingo game is slated for Saturday at 492 Hill St. Doors and concessions open at 5 p.m., card sales begin at 5:30 and games start at 6:30.
The night features 13 games, plus speedy bingo and a progressive black out final game with a jackpot of $1,257 plus half the night’s progressive sales. The jackpot is estimated to exceed $1,500. The night also will feature a 50/50 raffle, door prizes and family fun.
This month’s game will be the first in which game play takes place in both Town Square’s ballroom and Studio A. Calls will be made in the ballroom and live-streamed to Studio A.
“Incorporating Studio A adds capacity for nearly 150 more players, so everyone can safely spread out and have plenty of room to enjoy the game,” said Phil Burkart, Town Square board member and bingo caller.
Concessions will be available for purchase in the ballroom’s new Jury Room Bar, including $2 Sheboygan hot dogs, chips, beer and wine. Carry-ins are prohibited.
Bingo takes place at Town Square on the last Saturday of every month. Proceeds from the bingo games support Town Square, an award-winning community center located in the historic county courthouse buildings in the heart of downtown Green Lake.
