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.
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.
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.
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.
Time to FALL in love with the scents of the season, and we’re not just talking about pumpkin spice! Our host from last year for soapmaking, Jon, has invited us to Good Life Candle and Craft for candle pouring and wax melt making. With scents like Maple Butter Blondie, Virgin River, Cider House, or Mahogany and Mallow, getting cuddled up and cozy at home never smelled so good!
BLUEBARN Theatre’s 37th season is about to begin, and they want to remind all blind and low-vision theatergoers that they offer audio description for their live performances. To make sure we feel really welcome, they gifted us 20 complimentary tickets to the season opener, “What the Constitution Means to Me” by Heidi Schreck – A witty play about belonging and identity, this show explores how the U.S. Constitution has shaped—and sometimes failed—four generations of women in her family. Using humor and personal stories, Schreck reveals how the Constitution often leaves out women, immigrants, and marginalized groups, making belonging uncertain. It challenges audiences to rethink who truly belongs in America and invites us all to help rewrite the rules so everyone has a place at the table.
So, ladies and gentlemen, let’s get out and enjoy a night of live entertainment. Audio description will be available for both new and seasoned audience members. We have a limited number of free seats available, so please reserve your spot by September 19.
