Turkey bingo fun taking place today

SANDPOINT — If you’re looking to have fun and help out a good cause, turkey bingo will help you check off both boxes.

Today, both the Sandpoint Lions Club and the Clark Fork Center will host turkey bingo fundraisers starting at 6 p.m. The Lions Club will hold their benefit at the Bonner Mall in Ponderay; the Clark Fork Center will host their fundraiser at the center, 1001 N. Cedar in Clark Fork.

All proceeds from the Lions Club event go to Toys for Tots. Every Christmas, the Lions provide new toys or gift certificates to almost 1,000 area children. The program also provides holiday food boxes to help feed about 1,500 people in the area.

The Clark Fork event benefits the center. All ages can play and pizza and popcorn will be available for purchase.

On Saturday, the Sandpoint Lions will host another round of turkey bingo from noon to 4 p.m.

On both days, Lions officials say there will be lots of prizes and some very nice raffle items. In addition, they will be selling popcorn, hot dogs and drinks both days.
