Supporters of Ozarka College enjoyed the second annual Ozarka College Foundation Casino Night, Sept. 30, at Cooper’s Pointe in Cherokee Village.
Guests enjoyed an assortment of hors d´oeuvres catered by Kelly Harrison, as well as casino games including bingo, blackjack, craps, “let it ride,” three-card poker, and roulette. Guests’ winnings were exchanged for chances to enter the event’s raffle drawings.
