Glo Bingo provides a great way to celebrate Valentine’s Day and benefit the community

[February 16, 2026]  On Saturday, February 14, 210 people came to the Emden Community House for Glo Bingo.

Lori Lessen, who helped organize the event said it helps elevate the fun factor in community events and support beautification projects in the community.

Before the games started, many people purchased tickets for a 50-50 drawing and raffle tickets to place in one of the raffle baskets donated by various individuals and businesses.

Several event sponsors also donated money for over $1000 in cash prizes to be won by players.

The Emcee, who calls himself Glo-Rider, was dressed in neon, making him easy to spot. As he called out numbers, he engaged with the crowd.

Players wore brightly colored glo-hats and used neon daubers to mark their cards.

As everyone played Glo Bingo, a DJ provided lively music to add more excitement to the event.

For each game there was a cash prize of at least $100.

With all the games plus chances to win cash prizes, a 50-50 drawing or one of the raffle baskets, Glo-Bingo provided a night of fun for the many people who came out.
