PARKERSBURG — The Parkersburg Art Center will be hosting a fundraiser Purse Bingo event Nov. 6 in the ballroom.

Doors will open at 4:30 p.m. and games start at 6 p.m. Cost to play is $25 for 20 games.

“We have been shopping for some of the latest styles of real designer handbags, no knock-offs here!” says Abby Hayhurst, Art Center Artistic Director. “We also received wonderful donations from our gift shop artists and have door prizes that are quite literally, works of art! Door prizes will be handed out throughout the evening.”

The event also includes a 50/50 raffle and a raffle called the “Ultimate First Pick” with the ticket drawn before the games even begin and the winner getting their choice of any of the 22 available purses.

Magic number, bingo daubers, extra cards and raffle tickets will all be available for purchase before the games begin. Food is being provided all evening by Crystal Cafe. Please bring cash for purchases.

Tickets for bingo and the Ultimate First Pick raffle are available online https://www.parkersburgartcenter.org/upcomingcurrent-events There is no reserved seating and seats are limited to allow ease of access between tables. It is suggested that you purchase your tickets in advance in case they sell out.

“The Art Center is celebrating its 85th year as a WV non-profit organization! By attending Purse Bingo, you win a fun night out and we win the financial support that keeps art education accessible and this facility open for all,” says Jessie Siefert, PAC Managing Director
