Plant Bingo at Castle Farms brings a summer evening of friendly competition, themed cocktails, and local-purpose fundraising to the historic grounds of Castle Farms in Charlevoix, MI. On July 15, guests gather at the venue at 5052 M-66, Charlevoix, I 49720 for a two-hour event where bingo cards replace the typical boardroom—each round rewards plant-themed prizes while proceeds support Hungry Ducks Farm, a 501c educational petting farm.
The setting is as much a draw as the game: Castle Farms’ stone facades and formal lawns create a stage for casual play and social hours. Players move between tables and the on-site bar, sampling signature cocktails and local brews while keeping an eye on the next bingo call. The event threads two local pleasures together—hands-on community and animal-focused conservation—so winning a prize feels like a small victory for a larger purpose.
What to expect: three to five rounds of bingo paced over roughly two hours, live callers, and a bar open throughout the evening. Prizes skew toward plant lovers—potted specimens, grow kits, and garden vouchers—so bring a tote to carry home leafy loot. The admission price of $15 covers entry and supports Hungry Ducks Farm’s mission to promote animal welfare and community learning; their 501c status is noted in the event description.
Accessibility and practicalities are straightforward: Castle Farms lists the meeting point as 5052 M-66 and the site is wheelchair- and stroller-accessible. Arrive early to claim a seat and orient yourself to the bar, restrooms, and any pop-up informational booths from the farm. Parking is typically available on the grounds; contact the organizer ahead of time for group accommodations.
Why this matters locally: Castle Farms is one of the region’s most active hosts for community gatherings, and Plant Bingo translates a simple game into a fundraising mechanism that connects urban plant interest with rural animal care. The event showcases local volunteerism and gives visitors a tangible way to support educational programming at a neighboring non-profit.
Plan to linger after the last round—wander the lawn, meet volunteers from Hungry Ducks, and enjoy the summer air. Tickets are $15 per person and include admission to the event; bar purchases are separate and cash or card are accepted. If plans change, Castle Farms requests cancellations and refund requests at least 48 hours in advance via [email protected]. The event is family-friendly though attendees should note the bar service; minors are welcome with supervision. Many guests make a night of it—dinner in Charlevoix, a stroll along the lakefront, then Plant Bingo back at the castle. Reserve early; seating and themed prizes often go quickly. Bring friends, a camera, and smiles.
