When Santa Claus comes to Geneva on Saturday, December 13th for his yearly visit, the local children will also be able to play Bingo prior to his arrival.
Those who attend this yearly event will be able to also sign up for two door prizes, one for a girl, and one for a boy, hoping to be the lucky one chosen as the winner, if they haven't already been lucky winners playing bingo.
Prior to Santa’s visit, starting at 1 p.m., Warren Torgerson will call 20 games of Bingo and the children attending with the winning numbers will be able to call out "Bingo!" and will be able to pick a gift of their choice until all the prizes are gone.
This yearly event was once again organized by Barb Kuckenbecker. The Geneva Business Club will provide the Bingo and door prizes, as well as the special treats that Santa will give them.Santa is scheduled to arrive in Geneva at the Community Center after the last Bingo number has been called. The kids will be able to stop to wish Santa a Merry Christmas as well as to inform him of what they would most like for Christmas. Santa will also hand out bags of candy treats to all who attend as they leave the Geneva Community Center.
