Vegas Knight
An evening filled with casino games, prizes and fun awaits. Whether you’ve never played before and would like to learn, have played a lot, or just like to watch the excitement at the tables, this is the event for you. At Vegas Knight, adults “pretend” they’re gambling big, but are actually just contributing to a Knights of Columbus fund raiser. Play black-jack, craps, roulette, and a variety of other games. Appetizers, food and soft drinks provided with admission, as well as $5,000 in poker chips to start the night. Additional poker chips can be purchased. Admission also includes one reverse raffle number (of 200) for a chance to win $500. This event is designated B.Y.O.B. Please be reasonable and responsible in any amounts brought to the event. NOTE: Attendees must be 18. Takes place from 7-11 p.m. Feb. 7 at St. Anthony’s Parish hall in Kyle. Visit http://kylekc.com for additional information.
