MARBLE FALLS — Pull out the old board game and head over to First United Methodist Church of Marble Falls on Oct. 24 for a good time and a good cause.

The United Methodist Women of Marble Falls is hosting Game Day from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the church, 1101 Bluebonnet Drive. Admission to the event is $12, which includes a lunch and access to a bake sale and silent auction. 

“We do this about twice a year, and it’s always a lot of fun,” said Helen Hunter, an organizer and UMW member. “People show up with all sorts of games. We all play and talk, just have a great time.”[box]IF YOU GO

Participants can dig out board games that might not have seen the table top in years or grab a favorite as they head out the door. Hunter plans on playing some bridge during the event.

“I’d say bridge is my favorite game,” she said. “I just enjoy it.”

People can join in different games throughout the day. Along with rekindling a love of a game or discovering a new one, it’s also a great chance to strike up new friendships.

While the UMW of Marble Falls is sponsoring the event, Hunter said it’s open to everyone.

“You just want to have a good time,” she said.

The proceeds go to support local nonprofits and mission projects, Hunter added.

Call Hunter at (830) 693-6029 to reserve a table or for more information.
