DP Theme : What your city is known for : LOTO


Perhaps you have checked out my previous post, it was more conventional : streets, buildings, ...
But Baziège is so small and known only in our area. Nothing is renowned, except the Chapel of Sainte Colombe. But I prefer something more funny, so I chose a typical activity of Baziège people : LOTO (or BINGO). Every week or more all year long (but more in the beginning) a LOTO is organized by a local association (soccer, public school, fishing club, ...) to get some money for their activities. They take place in the Village Hall.

You can see here the Community News Bulletin : every week at least a LOTO !!

How fun...I love seeing what the local townspeople enjoy doing. That is what gives an area its personality.
