Maxine Farber turned 97! Happy birthday from all the Cuchara Valley! Photos/Videos from the bingo crowd singing to the birthday girl.
Cuchara Bingo is a fun night to get out and socialize.
You get to meet many new and interesting people from all over the world. Most who attend are regulars but each year we have visitors from all over! We play many different types of games, most of which are common games. Our prizes are items donated from area businesses that support the Cuchara Recreation program. We are also fortunate enough to have our great jokester, Dr. Don Cooper come in to ease the tension of the jackpot game with a fun joke or quip. Drinks are also available to be purchased.
Our bingo is done to help keep the recreation program running. We have suggested donation amounts for cards, but it is a great way to come out, spend just a little bit of money, socialize and be in the running to win donated prizes from all over the valley!
