The Bluffton Elementary PTO bakery Bingo event was a great success, according to Melissa Knauss, PTO president. The group estimates that this year's profit may be over $3,000, up from over $2,300 last year.

"We ended up with 22 classroom baskets, and 31 business baskets for a total of 53," she said. "Everyone had fun playing Bingo." 

"We had eight tables filled with donated baked goods, which then individuals who won Bingo, could pick their choice of a baked good.

"The winner of our 50/50 drawing was Natalie Mueller, taking home $215," she added.
