ROCK SPRINGS, WYOMING (Nov. 13, 2019) — Do you know that Bingo was originally named “Beano” in 1929? A toy salesman overheard someone accidentally yell “Bingo!” instead of “Beano!” at a carnival near Atlanta, Georgia and the name has stuck ever since.

This year, locals and visitors are invited to play the first-ever Downtown Christmas Bingo. The cards contain 24 activities, with all items under $10, most of which are free. There is also one free square. Each square has an activity for participants to enjoy and mark off during the holiday season. Once they have a “Bingo” (straight across, vertical or diagonal), they can return it to the office for a prize.
The 307 Realty Group is the sponsor for this event.

Participants can start playing Downtown Christmas Bingo from now until December 21.
