Mayor Williams to call out the first game at Sunday's "veggie bingo"

If you do the math, there are approximately 5.52 * 10^26 possible combinations on a bingo card.

or to be more exact, there are
552,446,474,061,128,648,601,600,000 possibilities.

How many times will there be the "first ever" Veggie Bingo in downtown youngstown?

Only 1.

our first Veggie Bingo will be held on this Sunday, August 8th from 5-8pm at the Lemon Grove.

Entry is $10 dollars, with proceeds going towards Grow Youngstown.

besides a CASH grand prize, winners of various rounds will receive:

"a dozen ears of sweet sweet corn, red wigglers for vermin-composting, a basket of produce from Red Basket Farm, a gift certificate to the North Side Farmers Market, and other bunches of delectable locally produced food."

Helping to host the event will be Martha Bayne, the Chicago-based Veggie Bingo founder, whose blog can be found here.

A few stars will be in attendance, calling out numbers for Youngstown's first Garden Bingo. They include:
- Mayor Jay Williams, City of Yo
- Presley Gillespie, Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp.
- a rep from the Men’s Garden Club
- a rep from St. Pat’s Church
- a rep from Jubilee Gardens
- a rep from Idora Neighborhood Gardens
- a rep North Side Farmer’s Market,and more.


Speaking of stars, there are 10^22 to 10^24 stars in the universe.

That means that there are more combinations on a bingo card than there are stars in the universe.



and knowing is half the battle.
