Let's Play Newburgh Water-Main Break Bingo!

After watching Newburgh’s Water and Public Works Departments work this afternoon on our FOURTH WATER-MAIN BREAK IN 24 HOURS, I have invented a game that will surely be the hit of the winter season: “Newburgh Water-Main Break Bingo.”

 FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY! Start playing today.

To begin: Make a grid five boxes wide by five boxes long. Write the word “Broadway” in the center box.

To play: Fill in the rest of the boxes with the names of any 24 streets in the City. Whenever there’s a water-main break on any of the streets you’ve named, put an “X” over that street’s name. When five in a row of your streets, either across, vertically, or diagonally, experience a break, YOU WIN!*

*Multiple winners are allowed; indeed, they are expected. What do you win, you ask? Well, for one thing (in fact, the only thing): PROMINENT MENTION on Nextdoor Newburgh; on this very website (www.TheNewburghNews.com); and on my Twitter account, which has TENS of followers!

MUST BE A NEWBURGH RESIDENT. ONLY ONE WINNER PER FAMILY. VOID WHERE PROHIBITED.

Newburgh’s DPW and Water Department workers, supervised by Water Chief Wayne Vradenburgh, work on their FOURTH (4TH) water-main break today. This one was on Ann Street between Mill and William streets.
