If you love both board games and birds, Kauffman Museum at Bethel College has an opportunity for you.
The museum will host a game night featuring the popular and award-winning board game Wingspan, March 22 starting at 7 p.m. at the museum, located at the corner of Main and 27th streets in North Newton.
Local residents Chris Riesen and Jeff Kauffman are the hosts, providing guidance for the evening and instruction for those new to Wingspan. No previous experience with the game needed – everyone from experts to beginners is welcome.
Kauffman Museum will provide Wingspan games to use, along with beverages, snacks and prizes. There is a small charge of $5 for those over 16 and $3 for 16 and under (museum members play free).
The game is recommended for ages 14 and up, although the under-14 can partner with an adult to play.
No reservations are required. You can see more at https://kauffmanmuseum.org/event/wingspan-game-night/
