Dusty Dollars Bingo with Ginny Tonyk
Cash. Actual cash. Not a gift card, not a bar tab — folding money, handed over the same night you win it.
Ginny Tonyk runs five rounds, and 50% of bingo card sales is paid straight back out as those prizes. Card sales only. The pot splits between the games and climbs each round, so the last is the biggest.
Walking in costs nothing. Cards are $10 a stack, and you can buy as many as you can dab.
Doors: 6:00 PM
Bingo: 7:30 PM
Entry: Free, walk-ins welcome.
Seats: Guarantee one for $5 (plus GST and ticketing fee), non-refundable. Held until 7:15 PM, then released to walk-ins
Cards: $10 per stack - includes one three up card for each of the 5 rounds.
Prizes: 50% of bingo card sales in cash

Thirteen. The number hotels skip, buildings refuse to label and the superstitious won't book a flight on. We're throwing it a party.
Host Khalora Form takes the stage with QUEERDO 2026 contestant Kraken Baxx and Kamloops icon Miss Mousse for a night built entirely on the date everyone else avoids. Mirrors, black cats, ladders — bring all of it.
This is the last Friday the 13th of 2026, and the next one doesn't land until August 2027. Nine months is a long time to wait for an excuse this good.
Doors: 6:00 PM
Show: 9:00 PM
Tickets: $10 in advance (plus GST and ticketing fee) · $15 all-inclusive at the door
