Here’s how it works:
- Download an Adult Summer Bingo card or pick one up in the store.
- Complete a 6-space bingo line horizontally, vertically, or diagonally by reading books that represent the prompts on each square. Write the book title on the square you are using after you finish the book.
- When you complete a Bingo, bring your card in to the store to be verified, and submit your raffle ticket!
The not-so-fine print:
A book title can only be used ONCE PER CARD (we all know that you can creatively find a way to make The Count of Monte Cristo fit in every single square somehow…).
Squares with foxes in them are FREE SPACES.
Squares with red print are worth 2 raffle tickets automatically, even if they do not complete your Bingo. 2 of these are event spaces–get your visit verified after attending. (Both events begin at 11:00am at PFB, on the date stated).
A fully completed card is worth 3 tickets, and any book you purchase from Prairie Fox Books for the competition will not only be 15% off, but will earn you 3 tickets as well. Mention Bingo before your purchase so that the discount can be applied.
There are FOUR (4) mini raffle drawings throughout the reading competition. As you earn raffle tickets, you can decide which raffle basket you would like to compete for.
THE PRIZES WITH ALCOHOL-BASED PRIZES ARE LIMITED TO PARTICIPANTS 21 AND OLDER. NO EXCEPTIONS.
The four mini raffle drawings will be on the following dates:
–Monday, July 1st–
–Monday, July 15th–
–Monday, July 29th–
–Monday, August 12th–
All cards/raffle tickets must be submitted by Monday, August 19th. The Grand Prize ticket will be pulled on Saturday, August 31st, at the end of summer party at Washington Park (all ages of summer reading participants are welcome at the party).
