Pickleball Bingo

The Pickleball Club hosted an exciting event that included Round Robin style play, lunch, and a game of “Pickleball Bingo”. We began playing pickleball on a chilly Sunday morning at 10:30am. The cool air did not discourage our BV pickleball players though. After several quick games, we went to the ballroom for Pickleball Bingo. There were multiple winners in each Bingo game and prizes were awarded. A delicious lunch was served after we finished our Bingo games. A fun time was had by all and participants were even able to get home in time to watch the Sunday afternoon football playoff game.
