POTTSTOWN PA – Bingo enthusiasts could win a designer purse (or maybe more than one?) for themselves or someone special on Sunday (Feb. 1, 2026) while they support the non-profit Pottstown Children’s Discovery Center.
The Discovery Center’s largest annual fund-raiser, its 3rd annual Designer Bag Bingo event, starts at 1 p.m. in the Keystone Fire Hall, 240 Walnut St., Boyertown. Its doors will open at noon.
Money raised from the event benefits the Discovery Center to help it continue, and expand, programming and exhibits for area families. It is being publicly recognized this month as one of eight Montco Happening Magazine nominees for “2026 Kids: Children’s Play Center or Gym.”
Advance registration for individual Designer Bag Bingo general admission costs $30. Reserved tables for six players also are available. They can be purchased online through Sunday at 1 a.m., or until sold out. Only 200 tickets will be sold, so seating is limited. If any tickets remain, they will cost $35 at the door.
The event includes 20 regular games, with special games and a grand prize game planned too. Additionally the event features raffle baskets, a 50-50 raffle, and door prizes.
