Greer Social Group

NEW TIME THIS WEEK!!!

Join us for all the fun this Thursday!

To play bingo, sheets are $1 each for the first five rounds. Each sheet includes 3 cards. You'll also receive one free card per round. Prizes for the first five rounds are gift certificates in varying denominations to Hall of Fame Sports Grill that you can use on subsequent visits. Sheets for the final, sixth round are $5 each and also contain 3 cards per sheet. You'll receive one free card for the sixth round as well. The prize for the final round is cash - usually about $700-1,400 depending on how many people play and how many sheets they buy. Also, in order to qualify to play the 6th and final money round, you must have bought at least one $1 sheet during one of the previous five rounds.

This is DIRTY BINGO, meaning the gift certificates for the first four rounds can be stolen by the winner of each subsequent round. The gift certificates can only be stolen during the first five rounds of play.

Please be respectful and RSVP if you plan to attend. This helps me know how many seats to reserve. Likewise, if you RSVP and then cannot make it for whatever reason, please update your RSVP to “not attending.”

Capri's Italian Restaurant – Greer

Our favorite bingo caller, Andrew, will be on vacation this week, so we're taking the show on the road! Instead of Hall of Fame, Greer Social Group will be gathering at Capri's Italian Restaurant for a fun night of bingo, and yours truly (Rebecca) will be calling the games!
We'll keep the same Hall of Fame bingo traditions alive with plenty of "socials," corny toasts, and music in the background.

### How Bingo Works

• Bingo sheets are $1 each for the first five rounds.
• Each sheet contains 3 bingo cards, and you'll receive one free card for each round.
• The prize for each of the first five rounds will be all of the money collected from sheet sales for that round.
• For the sixth and final round, sheets are $5 each and also include 3 cards, plus one free card.
• The final round prize will be all of the money collected from sixth-round sheet sales.
• If there are multiple winners in any round, the prize money will be divided equally among them.
• Daubers will be provided if you don't have your own.

Unlike Hall of Fame, there will be no prize stealing. If you win money, it's yours to keep!

Please be respectful and RSVP if you plan to attend so I know how many seats to reserve. If your plans change, please update your RSVP to "Not Attending" so someone else can have your seat.

Come hungry and get ready for a fun evening of laughs, good food, and maybe a little extra cash!

The Upstate Renaissance Faire is a lively, family-friendly festival that transports visitors back to the age of knights, castles, and adventure. Guests can enjoy live entertainment, sword fighting and jousting, music and dancing, unique artisan vendors, delicious food, and interactive experiences throughout the village. Founded in 2021, the faire celebrates history, creativity, and community while bringing together performers, artists and guests for a weekend of immersive medieval fun.

Tickets are $24.25 ($22.65 plus $1.60 PayPal fee = $24.25). This does not include purchase of any food or pictures with the kangaroo - those are additional expenses that you are responsible for should you decide to purchase them. Parking is free.

From the URF website:
We are thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter for the Upstate Renaissance Faire—this year, we are partnering with Hollywild Animal Preserve as our new venue!
With this beautiful new location comes more space, expanded parking, and the opportunity to better serve our ever-growing Renaissance Faire community. Nestled among winding wooded trails, Hollywild offers a setting that brings an even richer sense of immersion, allowing the magic of the faire to truly come alive around every corner.
​
But that’s not all—this year will feature unique animal encounter experiences as part of the adventure! Ever dreamed of taking a photo with a kangaroo (additional purchase required)? Now you can. These special additions will make your journey through the faire unlike anything we’ve offered before.
​
From new experiences to expanded grounds, we are beyond excited to welcome you to a season filled with wonder, discovery, and unforgettable moments.
