Pokeno - This game is a combination of poker and bingo, played like bingo. Pokeno is played on the first Thursday of the month between 6:00 p.m. -8:30 p.m.  It is a great “Ladies Night Out”.  Ladies bring and play for wrapped gifts worth about $10.00.  Appetizers are available to purchase. Sorry, children are not invited.
