July 1, 2024 – The Big Bass Bingo hall in Yantis, TX offers a lot of entertainment, but that’s not all. A large portion of the proceeds from their weekly games go to support the Lake Fork Stables Youth Riding Programs.
Lake Fork Stables, a 501c3 nonprofit organization in Yantis, TX. Lake Fork Stables provides free and discounted therapeutic riding lessons for low-income and autistic families through their Riders Up program. They also offer a variety of other programs, including the Horse Boy Method, Horse Powered Reading, Horses4Heroes, and Joyful Journey (for adults over 50). You can find more information at ridersup.org.
It’s really an “evening out” type of experience. There is no smoking, and plenty of space for groups, or families to sit together. Don’t expect to see the tired bingo cards with the red glass sliding windows. They rent bingo computers that do everything for you as well as daubers and paper game cards. There are also games before and during the actual bingo session. Never a dull moment with something always going on.
Children 6 and up can play too, but the accompanying adults are payed any winnings. If you are new to bingo, the staff is very helpful. It’s best to come when doors open to get situated.
There is food and drink available for purchase, and free refills on popcorn.
