A Perfect Hand and Plenty of Fun
Mary Ann Young Center 9150 Central Avenue NE Blaine MN 55434
A perfect cribbage score was one for the record books! Among the friendly competition and laughter, two longtime center volunteers Cheryl and Carol achieved a perfect partner hand during the last tournament, an extremely rare feat in the game. Both ladies are well known around the Mary Ann Young Center for their generous spirit and volunteerism, and their success at the cribbage table made the day even more special. Beyond the impressive scores, the event was filled with camaraderie and good humor. New players mixed with seasoned pros, learning tips, sharing stories, and enjoying the fast-paced fun that cribbage offers. Whether you are a lifelong player or just curious about the game, cribbage welcomes everyone. Cribbage is easy to learn, full of friendly strategy, and a great way to connect with others—so grab a board, a deck of cards, and come play on Fridays at 1PM or sign up for the January Cribbage Tournament on Thursday, January 15. With a bit of luck and a few clever plays, you might even find yourself holding that perfect hand!
