Hillsboro Library holds Back-to-School Bingo

On Tuesday, Aug. 2, area children gathered at the Hillsboro Community Center for the library?s annual Back-to-School Bingo for children in kindergarten through high school this fall.

When the children shouted bingo for the first time, they were sent to the big table and received a stack of school supplies donated by community members and businesses. Samantha Helmers was the first lucky student. The next time the children shouted bingo, they were sent to the small table for specialty type of school supplies. Amanda Hofmeyer was awarded the person to take the longest to win and pick her supplies from the big table.

After all children visited the big table, the caller, Marshall Stevens, announced the black out game, everyone?s favorite. The winner of black out, Hannah Reinier, received a pizza and a movie rental from Kramer?s Gas and Grocery in Salem.

During bingo, the children were served popcorn and beverages. Rhonda Runyon, Peggy Stevens and Louis Stevens volunteered at the event.
