Bakery Bingo

Bakery treats
Get in the sweetest game.

Hey, does anyone see January lurking around? Don’t get us wrong, we love new beginnings and well-intentioned resolutions, but after 31 days, we’re ready for a break. There’s a lot to love about February, especially since it seems to grant permission to once again embrace delectable baked goods and loaves of bready goodness—within reason, of course. Let’s not throw the drive to better health in reverse.

With sweets on our minds—Valentine’s Day is just a few weeks away, and Girl Scout cookie sales are about to ramp up—we decided to take a riff off of traditional Bingo, and make a game of exploring some of the area’s baked goods purveyors. Rip out the Bingo sheet (or snap a photo of it on your phone), and hop in your car, on your (fat tire?) bike or into your walking shoes to visit the spot(s) of your choice.

On your mark, get set … go!
