Turkey Bingo returns to the Old Town Hall! Every year, many local families rely on the Randolph Area Food Shelf (RAFS) to provide a turkey for their Thanksgiving meal. Let's help them help our neighbors. Dinner will be available starting at 5pm; bingo gets underway at 6pm.

How it works: Bingo cards are $10 per adult and $5 for kids 12 and under. We ask that every family bring some kind of food item for the prize table. Possibilities are endless — extra garden produce, baked goods, your favorite farmstand something or other, a bag of chips, venison, even a candy bar from the gas station. (We'll have kiddo-appropriate prizes too!) There will also be pizza, drinks, and baked goods for sale, a 50/50 raffle, and more. All proceeds benefit the RAFS Turkey Fund. Join us for this all-ages super-fun night for a great cause! Gobble, gobble.

Cost: $10/card for adults | $5 kids 12 and under — all proceeds benefit RAFS

Join us for a cozy 'ghost painting' class inspired by the viral Instagram trend — where thrifted art and vintage-style paintings get a playful, spooky makeover. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just looking for a fun creative night out, this class is designed for all experience levels and most ages (10+). Bring your own painting to transform (we'll have a few extras for those who need one), and we'll supply the materials and guidance to help you create your own charming ghostly masterpiece. Enjoy a relaxed, festive atmosphere with spooky mocktails and themed snacks provided while you paint, snack, and get creative with fellow ghost enthusiasts.
