So what’s on the FUN10 for this week? Read on …

You once again have the option of the package options of Hissy Fit, Tantrum and Furious Rage, depending on how the past couple of months have gone for you.
Worried about your safety when venturing away from home? Well, have no fear. The following statement was released on Patty’s Pummel Palace’s Facebook page:
“Someone sent a question in messenger relating to our safety gear that you use while smashing. Yes, we will be washing the coveralls and gloves daily and spraying with lysol between users. You may wear your own clothes if you wish, long sleeves and pants, closed shoes. The hard hats and glasses are disinfected between users. You will be required to use hand sanitizer before putting on the safety gear as well, and we recommend using after you are finished as well. Masks are required to enter the business!”
So, there you have it. You can now safely let off some steam. But reservations ARE required! To make your reservation today, visit https://www.pattyspummelpalace.com/.

Music from the 50’s through music that came out in the last month!
Think you know your music?
If you know what song contains these lyrics, you would probably love Rock Star Bingo!
“And she’s watching him with those eyes,
And she’s loving him with that body, I just know it,
Yeah ‘n’ he’s holding her in his arms late, late at night.”
What is Rock Star Bingo?
Just like “regular” bingo, but we replaced bingo numbers, like “B16”, with parts of songs. If you know the song title (no phones, devices or apps – basically no cheating), then mark that square. Get 5 squares in a row and you’re a winner!!
It’s the most fun you will ever have playing bingo!
