Bingo Karaoke at Senior Center on Friday

September 24th, 2009 by Doree

Time for the monthly Bingo Karaoke at the Greenwood Senior Center at 7 p.m. on Friday night. This extremely popular event brings out folks of all ages. Here’s the younger crowd with their bingo cards.

And here’s a more seasoned neighbor singing on the stage.

As always, $10 gets you entrance to one of the neighborhood’s most entertaining events. That $10 buys you 8 bingo cards and the chance to win cash prizes throughout the night. We play a game or two of Bingo, then sit back to enjoy the musical stylings of some of our community’s best (and worst) karaoke singers. Beer and wine are available for $3 each, and some tasty bingo-hall food (think hot dogs, jalapeno poppers, cookies, popcorn, etc.) is also available for purchase. Come one, come all!

Friday night in PhinneyWood

August 28th, 2009 by Doree

If you’re looking for something to do in the neighborhood tonight, stop by the Phinney Farmers Market (a PhinneyWood sponsor) in the lower parking lot of the Phinney Neighborhood Association from 3-7 p.m. Pick up your fresh fruits and veggies, homemade pasta, bread and cheese, have a dinner of Pan-African food or Veraci Pizza, and top it all off with a little ice cream and some fresh-cut flowers to brighten someone’s day. As always, the kids’ slides are the social center of the Market.

Then leave the kids with a babysitter and head over to the Greenwood Senior Center for Bingo Karaoke Night from 7-10 p.m. For just 10 bucks you get all the bingo and bad singing you can handle and the opportunity to win cash prizes. Snacks and adult beverages are for sale. All proceeds benefit the Senior Center’s programs.

And at Wayward Coffeehouse at 8570 Greenwood Ave. N., legendary local folk artist Jim Page performs from 8-10 p.m. with Joe Martin. No cover charge.

If you know of anything else fun happening in the neighborhood, please let us know in comments below.

Bingo Karaoke at Senior Center Friday

April 23rd, 2009 by Doree

One of the funnest events the Greenwood Senior Center puts on is its monthly Bingo/Karaoke, where lots of youngsters join the seniors for a raucous good time. Friday night they’re doing it again from 7-10 p.m.

Just $10 gains you entrance to the Bingo/Karaoke Hall and 8 game cards. Each game offers a $30 cash prize if you win. There are also a few “special” games for an extra $2 apiece that payout anywhere from $30-$130 depending on how many people play. Beer and wine are a mere $3 apiece. Hot dogs, chili, jalapeno poppers, popcorn, cookies, and other munchies are available for under $5 as well.

Bingo/Karaoke is held on the last Friday of every month from 7-10 p.m. at the Greenwood Senior Center, 525 N. 85th St. Parties of eight or more are asked to call ahead to reserve a table, because the room is usually packed: 206-297-0875.

If you want to see the good times of past events, check out these YouTube videos of the whole room doing The Twist, Sweet Caroline and a spirited rendition of Wham’s Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go.
