What's more fun than a barrel of monkeys? Bluffton PTO Bakery Bingo on January 20 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. in the Middle School cafetorium.

If you get a bingo, you win a home-baked item donated by local families.

What kinds of treats will be there? The sign up list typically includes cookies, cake pops, brownies, rice crispy treats, breads, muffins, pies, cake, other and gluten free.

Families will also find food and drink at the concessions tables. Keep in mind that it is very difficult for the PTO to make change for large denominations. Bringing small bills is always appreciated.

No admission ticket is required. You can purchase packs of bingo cards at the door for $1 a pack.

There will also be tickets sold for raffle baskets and a 50/50 drawing.
