Localworks Presents Exciting Bar Stool Bingo Fundraiser for Colorado Gives Day at Esters - Neighborhood Gazette

Colorado Gives Day is quickly approaching, and Localworks invites you to spend it with us! Join us Tuesday, December 5th, at Esters (10151 W 26th Ave, Wheat Ridge, CO) from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. for a unique fundraising event promising an evening of entertainment, excitement and an opportunity to give back to your community. Localworks seeks your donation for our Cash for Connection campaign. Learn more about this campaign at www.wearelocalworks.org/barstoolbingo.

This Colorado Gives Day, we are hosting our second annual Bar Stool Bingo fundraising event. Attendees can anticipate a fun and interactive evening of giving! Bar Stool Bingo is a modified version of regular bingo, incorporating Wheat Ridge’s rich agricultural history by involving some of our prized poultry pals. It’s our take on a very popular, originally Texan, bar game called Chicken S#!T Bingo.  Computer Chair

The rules are simple: Participants purchase a raffle ticket that has the same letter/number combinations as it would on a bingo card (i.e., B-36, O-37, etc.). But instead of playing on individual boards, it’s a single, sudden-death round and the winner is “chosen” by the chicken. The choosing chickens will be safe, warm and happy at their farm, visible to participating players via livestream. After dining, and a bit of digestion, the chickens will be ready to choose. The winner is determined by where the chicken’s droppings land on the board. Sometimes a “result” can take a few minutes, but based on last year’s event, we anticipate playing several rounds over the two-hour event. All proceeds from the night will directly benefit Localworks’ Cash for Connection campaign. 

Localworks extends a huge thank you to the event sponsors! Bob Dubois, your trusted local roofer and the presenting sponsor, will MATCH the first $2,000. And this event would not be possible without Your Trusted Real Estate Guy who’s not only supporting this event with a sponsorship, but will also emcee the night and provide his farm and chickens for our game! 

You do not have to play our game or attend this event to support Localworks this Colorado Gives Day, though we highly encourage it! If you prefer to watch and donate from the comfort of your home, you can stream the event via the City of Wheat Ridge Youtube channel. You can also donate directly to us via the Colorado Gives Day website or schedule your donation at www.coloradogives.org/team/Wrlw. We appreciate your support throughout the year and hope to see you at Esters this Colorado Gives day – your first drink is on us!
