It’s your official first party of the new year!! From strikes to gutter balls, get ready to let it roll. Blind and low vision bowlers are welcome to come solo or bring friends and family. You can sign up for an individual slot or reserve your own lane by selecting the “family” option. Your shoes and two hours of bowling are included, along with, most importantly, adaptations to ensure blind bowlers can independently navigate up to the bowling lane and get lined up before launching the ball. Top it all off with pizza and pop, and you’re definitely going to start 2026 off right with your friends from Outlook!
Popcorn and Pajamas Holiday Movie Night (All Ages)
‘Tis the season for those good ol’ holiday movies. We’ll be watching “Elf”, a classic Christmas comedy. Bring your friends, your family, or show up solo in your pajamas. Then plop down with your comfiest blanket to watch this feature film on the big screen or listen with audio description. Treat yourself to dinner and plenty of popcorn with your Outlook friends!
Braille and Large Print BINGO (Ages 21+)
It’s BINGO time! We are not sure if it’s the Braille and large print BINGO cards, the food, the drinks, or the friends, but our BINGO nights have become a crowd favorite. So, bring yourself, bring your friends (blind and sighted), bring $10 cash per person, put on your party pants, and head over to Outlook for an evening of fun. We’ll have chili, cash prizes, and a great time, as always.
Family and Friends Ice Skating with the Lancers
It’s so nice to be invited back to the ice! This will be our 3rd annual Friends and Family Ice Skate with the Omaha Lancers hockey team at their home ice rink. No skill required. We’ve have a way for you to participate, no matter what. Skate with a Lancer player, skate with a chair for balance, skate with your cane, or have a seat and get pushed around! You’re also welcome to come and watch, or enjoy lunch provided by the Lancers. This is a free event for blind and low vision ice skaters and Lancer fans, along with their friends and family.
Teen Rec Smash Fest
We’ve tried swinging at baseballs and golf balls, but we’ve never swung at breakable objects! We are headed to iSmash Omaha for a smashing good time! iSmash Omaha has the safety gear, your choice of items to smash, breakable glass, and the open space needed to take a full swing. Halloween is right around the corner, so we are adding a good ol’ pumpkin smash for the grand finale.
** Want to bring a buddy? If you have a sighted friend or family member who would like to join this event, select the “family” option. This will cover the cost for one visually impaired teen participant plus one sighted guest.
White Cane Day Happy Hour
This will be our 7th Annual White Cane Day Celebration, but the white cane has been a tool for mobility and independence for over 100 years. So, let’s get together to raise a glass, a fork, or a bowl of that famous French Onion Soup at the Brazen Head Irish Pub. This is a day for the entire blind community, all organizations that impact blind and low vision individuals, and sighted friends and family of white cane and guide dog users. Cheers to all of us using these tools as a badge of independence. Tap your way over to the Brazen Head’s private party room to help us ring in National White Cane Day with a great group of folks. We may have less vision, but we always have more fun!
This is a free event, but attendees are responsible for their own transportation and the purchase of food and drinks.
