There are many options to engage with the community and play Spring BINGO. Spaces such as “I found something floral at ____,” “I got a new style, cut or color at _____,” or “I treated a friend to something special at ____,” to name a few; encourages participan­ts to seek out items, services, gifts and experience­s that they may not have yet discovered or revisit their favorite businesses. Playing online is a click away, gifting a distant friend or family member an item, purchase a gift card for a beauty or wellness service or a surprise dinner and wine delivery.
