πŸ“šβœοΈπŸŽ± 2 COOL 4 SCHOOL BINGO πŸŽ±βœοΈπŸ“š

Sunday, August 16th @ 5:00 PM
Crooked Creek Brewery | St. Helens

It's back-to-school season, which means we're feeling nostalgic.

Whether you just got out of school, are still in school, have kids heading back to school, or went to school when Trapper Keepers and Pee-Chees were the height of sophistication... this bingo night is for you.

We're taking a trip down memory lane to the days of:

✏️ Freshly sharpened #2 pencils
🏠 Playing M.A.S.H. and finding out you'd apparently marry your crush, have 14 kids, drive a Lamborghini and live in a shack
πŸͺ’ Chinese jump rope on the playground
πŸ“š Book fairs that made you feel like a millionaire with $10
πŸ”Ί Paper fortune tellers that obviously knew your entire future
πŸ’Ύ Computer labs and floppy disks
πŸ“Ί TVs strapped to rolling carts = BEST. DAY. EVER.
πŸ“ Passing carefully folded notes
☎️ Calling your friend's house and having to TALK TO THEIR PARENTS FIRST
πŸ• PIZZA FRIDAYS! You know the pizza we're talking about. That rectangle of cheesy cafeteria perfection that had absolutely no business being as exciting as it was.

If any of that just unlocked a core memory... you're our people.

This week's prizes will have some serious back-to-school nostalgia!

So grab your old-school crew and come prove you're still 2 COOL 4 SCHOOL. 😎

πŸ†“ FREE to play β€” all ages welcome
πŸ’΅ Progressive 50/50 Bingo is $1 CASH per card (18+)

No homework.
No pop quizzes.
No permission slips.

Just bingo, burgers, brews, bad jokes, and a healthy dose of nostalgia.

Extra credit if you can still remember how to fold a note into one of those ridiculously complicated little paper rectangles. πŸ˜‚

🐢🎱 DOG DAYS OF BINGO 🎱🐢

Sunday, August 2nd @ 5:00 PM
Crooked Creek Brewery | St. Helens

August is National Dog Month, so naturally... we're making bingo all about our four-legged best friends.

Let's be honest, Crooked Creek Brewery isn't just a favorite hangout for humans. It's one of Columbia County's favorite dog-friendly spots, and if you've been there, you've probably met the brewery's unofficial hostess, Mimi. 🐾

This week, we're inviting all the good boys, good girls, and their humans to join us for a dog-gone good time.

πŸ• Bring your dog.
🦴 Bring your favorite dog person.
🐾 Bring pictures of your dog if your pup prefers to stay home (we'll absolutely ask to see them).

Expect:
🐢 Dog-themed prizes
🎀 Bad jokes (who let those out?)
🐾 Plenty of tail wags
🎱 The usual bingo mayhem

πŸ†“ FREE to play β€” all ages welcome
πŸ’΅ Progressive 50/50 Bingo is $1 cash per card (18+)

Whether your dog is a tiny lapdog, a giant floof, or convinced they're in charge of the household, they're welcome at Crooked Creek.

Because let's face it... dogs make everything better. Including bingo.

See you Sunday! 🐢❀️

🎑 And the winners are... πŸŽ‰

Our first-ever Columbia County Fair is officially in the books, and now it's time to announce our Plinko Grand Prize winners and our 50/50 raffle winner!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, played Plinko, entered the grand prize drawing, bought 50/50 tickets, asked questions, grabbed some swag, or simply stopped to say hello. Seeing so many familiar faces (and meeting plenty of new ones!) made our first year at the fair one to remember.

Congratulations to all of our winners! πŸ₯³

We'll be reaching out to our three grand prize winners in the order they were drawn so they can choose their prize, and we'll also be contacting our 50/50 winner to arrange pickup.

A special thank you to everyone who purchased 50/50 tickets. Together, we raised $135, with half going to our lucky winner and the other half supporting lifempowered and the people we serve throughout Columbia County.

We already can't wait to do it all again next year. πŸ’™

πŸŽ₯ Watch the video below to see if your name (or ticket number!) was drawn!

Fair week is done! Thank you to everyone who stopped by and said hi, played plinko, or entered our 50/50 raffle! It was great meeting people in our community and sharing the work that we do!

If you are new to following us, welcome!

Bingo is still happening tonight, 5pm at Crooked Creek Brewery….free, all ages. It’s National Ice Cream Day and we’ve prepared some great prizes to celebrate!

🍦🎱 SCOOP, THERE IT IS! BINGO 🎱🍦

Sunday, July 19th @ 5:00 PM
Crooked Creek Brewery | St. Helens

It's National Ice Cream Day, and if there's one thing we love almost as much as bingo... it's using completely random holidays as an excuse to theme bingo.

So this Sunday, we're celebrating the sweetest holiday of the summer! 🍦

Expect:
🍨 Ice cream-inspired prizes
πŸ’ A few sprinkles of chaos
🎀 Brain freeze-level bad jokes
🎁 Prizes that are... well... pretty sweet

The real question is...

🍫 Chocolate or vanilla?
πŸ“ Cone or bowl?
🍍 Pineapple on ice cream? (Actually... let's not start that debate.)

πŸ†“ FREE to play β€” all ages welcome
πŸ’΅ Progressive 50/50 Bingo is $1 cash per card (18+)

Come cool off, grab a burger and a cold drink, and celebrate National Ice Cream Day the only way we know howβ€”with bingo, laughter, and a whole lot of questionable prize shopping.

No matter how many scoops life gives you... there's always room for one more game of bingo.

See you Sunday! 🍦😎

It's time for the Columbia County Fair! Come see us! We've got Plinko for some great prizes and a 50/50 raffle!

07/07/2026

πŸŽ‰ We have a winner! πŸŽ‰

Congratulations to the lucky winner of our coffee table and end table set! πŸ†

At Community Day in the Park, everyone who landed on the grand prize during Plinko earned an entry into our drawingβ€”and after all the excitement, we finally have our winner!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who stopped by our booth, even with the rainy weather. 🌧️ It was so great to see so many familiar faces, meet new friends, and share a little fun (and a lot of Plinko!).

Missed your chance? Or just want to try your luck again?

🎯 Come see us at the Columbia County Fair next week! We'll have Plinko back with even more chances to win great prizes, and yes... there will be another grand prize drawing! Stop by, say hello, learn a little about lifempowered, and see if luck is on your side.

We'll see you at the fair! πŸ’™

πŸŽ† AMERICA'S BIRTHDAY... CONTINUED! πŸŽ†

Sunday, July 5th @ 5:00 PM
Crooked Creek Brewery | St. Helens

The Fourth of July is almost here...

…and America only turns 250 once.

So why stop celebrating after just one day?

By Sunday...
πŸŽ† The fireworks will be over.
πŸͺ‘ Your lawn chair will still be sitting in the driveway.
β˜€οΈ You'll be sporting your finest farmer's tan (or sunburn).
πŸ” The burgers will be leftovers.
πŸŽ‡ You'll still be finding stray fireworks wrappers in your yard.

Sounds like the perfect time for bingo.

Join us as we keep America's 250th birthday celebration rolling with one more night of red, white, blue, and bingo.

Expect:
πŸ—½Patriotic prizes
🎀 Bad jokes that are as American as apple pie
πŸŽ† Red, white, and blue vibes
🎱 The usual bingo mayhem

πŸ‘€ Prize hint: One of this week's prizes is a certain viral canned side dish that sparked quite the debate at a past bingo. If you were there... you know. 😏

πŸ†“ FREE to play β€” all ages welcome
πŸ’΅ Progressive 50/50 Bingo is $1 cash per card (18+)

When the fireworks are over and you're looking for one last way to celebrate the holiday weekend, we'll be at Crooked Creek Brewery with bingo cards, burgers, cold drinks, and just the right amount of chaos.

Because America's birthday deserves an encore.

See you Sunday! πŸŽ‡
