Subject: Bingo in Bynum!

Mark your calendars – Bynum Front Porch Bingo is Back Saturday Feb 4th – 7pm.

Bynum Front Porch is bringing bingo again, once a month, first Saturdays through April! Join the fun on the first Saturday of every month (coming up this February 4th at 7 pm) for BFP Bingo. Win prizes or cash with our 50/50 games. Each game is $1 for 3 cards and you can play as many $1 cards as you wish. There will be 5 prize games (each prize worth at least $10), then a 50/50 game. This game costs $5 and the winner takes half the pot (hence 50/50). We’ll follow with 5 more prize games and a final 50/50 game to end the night and wrap things up at around 9 pm.

Dear friends of Bynum Front Porch,

Saturday, November 19, 9am to 12noon is our next workday at the Bynum General Store.  Our goals are to paint the walls that enclose the heater closet (everyone is tired of looking at that un-finished pressboard), install a real hinged cover for the ceiling exhaust fan opening, paint the window frame around the AC unit, paint the walls around the bathroom entrance, install new siding under the bathroom window, trim trees in the parking area, and of course general cleaning and trash pick-up.

Subject: Thanks for decorations!

We were happy to move into our place in time to have a few years of the pumpkins on Chicken Bridge before they built the new bridge and tore down the old one in the 80′s.  It is fun to see at least a few still put up there each year.

Can’t say how pleased I am that Doug Elliot is coming down from the hills to little ‘ole Bynum. Just spent some time with him at the Blue Ridge Assembly in Black Mountain. This is a real treat, and family friendly. Would be nice if his talented (college) son would be able to come along…..Highly recommended….
 
I’m sure Tyris Jones is excellent too….just never had the pleasure.
