After the morning seminar and visiting London Bridge (look for a post on that later), on Monday evening at the Bash, we partook of the food trucks, sampled lots of margaritas, donated and tried for the silent auction, and finished the evening with some raucous bingo.

A Mexican food truck for dinner:

Jenn donated a knitted shawl and hat that she made to the silent auction; here’s the shawl while being blocked (she didn’t bring her blocking mat in the RV, so made do with cardboard):

And the hat:

The silent auction; Jenn bid on a quilt, but was out-bid. Her items had several bids, too; the auction raised over $5k for Escapees CARE, an assistance program for members who can no longer travel:

After that was a margarita throwdown, a competition of margarita samples. Our two favorites were the winners, too:

It was a cool evening, but despite that, we availed ourselves of the ice cream truck for dessert:

We offset the ice cream with the warmth of a heater:

Then chatted with others (around another heater) while the bingo was being set up in the big tent:

Bingo starting:

They played six games, with a half-hour intermission, and hilarity from people who didn’t understand the rules (we’d never played bingo before, but picked it up easily enough):

The prize for the final game, filling all spaces, was an ebike:

Jenn was playing my and her bingo cards:

She was dangerously close to winning; just needed two more:

There were three winners (who all had the same card layout). So they decided on the final winner with a dance-off:

A busy and tiring day.
