Bingo games are returning to the Ripon American Legion Hall on Tuesday, April 3, to again serve as the main fundraiser for the operation of Post 190.Games will take place on the first and second Tuesdays of the month at 6 p.m. at the Legion Hall in the 100 block of South Stockton Avenue in Ripon’s downtown.Nearly a year ago the state legislature put an end to remote caller bingo that affected the games conducted by the Ripon American Legion. The Legion post ended up losing the one regular fund-raising activity it had to keep the hall and the Bugbee Veterans Center doors open.Faced with a big hole on their budget, the post leadership went to work a solution with the city. It is allowing the non-profit to once again hold the bingo nights under the City of Ripon’s local bingo permit process.
