Before summer slips away, we’re throwing a party to celebrate a true feat: completing our Field Guide to Austin Summer Reading Bingo Challenge.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Whether you got one bingo, two or even reached blackout status for the whole board, you’re welcome to join us at Central Machine Works on Aug. 27 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

Here’s how it will work. Bring your completed bingo card to the event, come check in at the KUT table and pick up your prizes. We’ll have Field Guide stickers, bookmarks and Lick ice cream vouchers that are available while supplies last. <\/p>\n

Now, if you are someone who got blackout, you’ll be entered into a raffle where you can win a swag basket full of ways to rep your love for public media, a pair of tickets to our upcoming ATXplained Live show on Oct. 15,<\/a> or a membership to the KUTX Concert Club<\/a> that features live performances in Studio 1A. <\/p>\n

In order to be eligible for the raffle prizes, you will need to drop off your bingo card in person. If you aren’t able to make the event, please send me an email at wdavis@kut.org and we’ll figure out a way to get the other Field Guide goodies to you.<\/p>\n

Beyond picking up your prizes, we’ll be talking about the books we read, what’s next on our reading lists and enjoying the evening. Please RSVP for the event<\/a> to help give us an idea of how many people to expect. I hope to see you there! <\/p>\n

When: Thursday, Aug. 27 from 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Where: Central Machine Works, 4824 E. Cesar Chavez St.
