If you are in Berryville be on the look out for deer and then on Friday night I went and played Bingo in Branson, Mo. and my son came down and drove me back and then Sat. night I went and played Bingo in Oak Grove School House and I won a over the sink strainer. I really enjoyed going and playing close to home and good Bingo and friends get together.
