BINGO FOR SWEETS - During this year’s Tater Town Special, the Gleason Gizelles hosted their annual community-wide adult Bingo Night and Cake Auction. The community played bingo for prizes donated by Woodman Life Chapter 1149. Everyone also had a chance to win a smoker donated by WCMES. During the intermission of the Bingo night, a cake auction was held where cakes made by local residents were sold off to do towards the towns benevolence fund. A total of $1,200 was raised.
