How It Works
Collect your bingo card from Watermark Books & Café or Love of Character. In-store or online.
Get reading and be sure to mark off the corresponding squares on your bingo card.
Once you’ve hit bingo (5 boxes in a horizontal. Vertical. Or diagonal line.) Bring your card into the store and exchange it for a completion prize!
Your completed card will then be entered into a drawing for a grand prize!
Extra Credit: Feel like earning a few more entries? A full card (All 25 squares filled in) will be entered into the grand prize drawing 5 times!

All completed children's cards will receive a prize for turning in the card, and will be entered into the Grand Prize drawing!

Each age bracket will have a Grand Prize winner, which is a tote with a gift card to Love of Character and to Watermark Books & Cafe, with additional goodies!

Participants are encouraged to enter as many bingo cards as they wish. However, completion prizes will only be awarded upon the first entry. Completion prizes may vary, and certain items will only be available while supplies last.

When was the last time you did something just for the joy of it?
We're experts at juggling responsibilities, checking boxes, and taking care of everyone else. Somewhere between careers, caregiving, responsibilities, and endless to-do lists, many women forget that play isn't a luxury—it's essential.
This panel of fun-loving women lead us in an inspiring conversation about reclaiming joy, embracing creativity, and giving yourself permission to play. Because being a badass isn't just about working hard—it's also about making time to play.
