"Went with my good friend Rosie to play some bingo. I’ve been wanting to go play bingo since I’ve been back home 3 years now. I finally got to go with my good buddy Rosie. We didn’t win but it was still a great time. Anything with Rosie is a great time. Wonderful people at the Elks Lodge #1913. They explained all the different games they played before & during the game. They have a snack bar area where you can purchase snacks & drinks while playing. Not drinks from the bar but there’s okay. It was very nice and I enjoyed myself & Rosie did too. We shall be there again next week. Bingo is every Thursday at 6."

"Love going there to play Bingo on Thursday nights. The winning pots are very a.azing, as long as you bingo alone. The people are very friendly. Just a little FYI, if you're a beginner, you better learn to be fast, cause they don't slow down for anyone."

"Super wonderful people. We used the RV park. Fern checked us in. She has a sweet personality and gave us a lot of background information on the Lodge. Rick stopped by to offer suggestions as to where to park and another member stopped by to be sure we were set for WiFi. This evening we were welcomed at the bar and Mike was a friendly bartender. Check this lodge out!"
