Monday Game Night

Vegreville Bowling Lanes is now hosting Monday Game Night. Every Monday evening adults can come in and play card and board games for free. The first session was held on January 20. Corinne Audy, owner of Vegreville Bowling Lanes and patron Marti Payne are cohosts for this event. Audy said they decided to have this game night because people need an opportunity to mix together in Vegreville.

“We are open to all kinds of games. The whole idea behind it is to give people a chance to meet people and make new friends. It’s pretty free flowing. People can teach each other about games they know or they can play their own game. We want to give people a chance to have some oldfashion fun that they can enjoy with others and at the same time, it gives them a break from being around technology,” Audy mentioned. Payne feels it is important they hold this game night because it is nice for people to go out and playing games with others. It keeps their mind alert and gives them a chance to do something that is interactive. Then it is nice to get to know more people rather than just sit at home and watch television. “The bowling alley is my place because it doesn’t matter if a person is playing bowling or participating in game night, being here feels like a person is with their family,” added Payne.

Participants teach each other different board games.
