My dad: What kind of witch lives near the ocean?
Me: 😬 I know I'm going to regret asking this... What kind, Dad?
My dad: A Sand-witch! 🥸

We promised you more Halloween Dad Jokes... You're welcome!
But seriously, folks... It's less than two weeks until Cats Alive's Bingowe'en extravaganza. Do you have your tickets yet? They're flying out of the virtual ticket machine like bats from a ringing belfry! Purchase them here: https://tinyurl.com/57wvs3ss
We know that last-minute ticket purchases are a well-loved island tradition, but really, don't wait too long. Only 45 are left for online purchase, and we'll have just 50 tickets available at the door. At the springtime Bingo, we were completely sold out at least 15 minutes before dabber time.
C'mon, all you sand-witches, sand-warlocks, and sand-don't-gimme-any-of-that-woowoo-nonsensers. Mark Saturday, 25 October on your calendars, and hit the Gabriola Island Community Hall for an afternoon of Bingo for a great cause. Doors open at 12pm, Bingo is from 1 to 4pm.
There also will be:
💥 TOMMY TUXEDO, the 31”h wire, indoor/outdoor sculpture by Zulis Yalte! The winning ticket for this magnificent artwork will be drawn that afternoon. If you haven’t already purchased your Tommy Tuxedo raffle tickets, they're 3 for $5, and a limited number will be available at Bingowe’en.
🎟️💰 50/50 Draw!
👻👹🧟 Costume Contest!
Homemade treats for purchase 🍪🍰🧁 as well as coffee, tea, and sodas
Our emcees will again be the stellar ✨ Dinah Dee and Trevor Gear ✨
Entertainment by Jbird and the Ukeladies 🎶
⚖️ BC gaming law requires us to ensure that **only folks 19 and older** attend this time, so please arrange for the kiddos to be doing something else that afternoon.
