On February 3, the NBV Recreation Commission and the NBV Vol. Fire Dept decided to combine efforts to raise money by having a Drag Queen Bingo.

It EXPLODED! When the doors opened at 5 p.m. there was a line waiting to get in to a sold out event - extra tickets were sold at the door, because almost 100 more people showed up to the event.
The Recreation Commission, which is headed by Councilman RJ Sokol, was holding the event in hopes to raise funds for its soon-to-come handicapped swing/CrossFit addition to the park. Sokol himself decided to go in “drag” and sing a song in hopes of bringing in a bigger crowd - it worked!
“We are so happy that the people came from all over to donate to both causes. It really shows the support for our river towns is stronger than ever,” Sokol commented. The firemen also received half the money to support their ongoing volunteer efforts.
The estimated total raised between the two groups was around $7,500.
Both organizations are thankful for the many volunteers and patrons who showed up. A special thanks to Jason Zubovic for his wonder group helping us out!
