Apparently Bingo is a big way to fundraise in this country. Schools do it, churches do it, even the Red Cross does it.
I was fortunate to attend my first Costa Rican bingo event this past weekend and it was soooo much fun!!! It was four hours long and included "arroz con pollo" aka "arroz con siempre" as it is served at any event/party, a school supply garage sale, disco lights from the graduation the night before, and of course - latin dance music :]
I think my favorite part was listening to everyone yell out things as the mom who was announcing the numbers turned the bingo ball. "Muevelo!!! Vientecinco!!! Eso!!! Diay!!!"
Hearing a little three year old say "muevelo" in his tiny high pitched voice may have been my favorite part.
