Bring some good luck and good cheer to the Cannon Beach American Legion Hall for the eight annual Casino Game Night, a fundraiser for the Cannon Beach Preschool and Children’s Center

From 7 to 10 p.m. Feb. 28, the legion building, 1216 S. Hemlock St., will be transformed into a scene from a Reno or Vegas casino, with craps, blackjack and roulette offered, said Barb Knop, the center’s board president.

Scrip will be available for purchase at the door; no minimum will be required. Players could win merchandise from local businesses and gift certificates from local stores and restaurants.

No skill is necessary; the dealers (center staff, board members and volunteers) will help players learn the rules of the games, she said.

Historically, the fundraiser has brought in an average of $2,100 every year, according to Knop.

The equipment is donated by the Seaside and Gearhart fire departments and local candy-maker Brian Taylor and his family, she said.

Community members who want to volunteer that evening can contact Annette Campbell, the center’s director, at 503-436-1040.

“We particularly need volunteers who would like to be blackjack dealers,” Knop said.

“It’s going to be a fun night,” said Christy Bisping, the center’s development director. “It definitely benefits our center, and we rely very heavily on all the money that we bring in.”
