A Southeast Michigan tradition since 2011, Ferndale Pride will be held this year on June 1 in partnership with The Candle Wick Shoppe and other community organizers. In advance of the event, Pride organizers are hosting a variety of events to raise money for the annual street fair and on April 8, '80s fans can gear up for bingo at The Rust Belt Market in Ferndale.
"Flashdance! It's '80s Bingo Night! This event is all about hanging out, flashin' back and listening to '80s tunes while benefitting Ferndale Pride," wrote event organizers. "Everyone will receive a bingo card with top songs from the '80s. When you hear that song, cross it off! Grab a '80s-inspired cocktail from REVEL bar and join us for a fun night!" Bingo sheets are four for $20 and winners can only win once per round.
Also the Rust Belt Market will be donating 10 percent of all bar sales to the cause," organizers said. "If you're hungry, grab a Detroit style sub at M.C. 'Wiches next door. Winners will receive Rusty Bucks, valid at any store inside The Rust Belt Market."
Round one of bingo begins at 7 p.m. and round two begins at 8 p.m. Find out more by visiting Ferndale Pride's Facebook page.
