Nongo of the Night - Karen Lundeen notes she had an unplayable bingo of ZANIEST on her rack, which was made even more frustrating by the fact that there was a contest for the highest scoring play ending in -EST!
Some interesting bingos:

- SILANES \n pl. Chemical compounds (played by Yvonne Knickerbocker)
- SINTERS \v. Makes cohesive by the combined action of heat and pressure
(played by Ed Saunders)

The contest was for the combined score of the highest play beginning with an "S" and the highest scoring play beginning with a ".B" We had four entries, with Ed saunders winning it:
Ed Saunders. . . . SINTERS (69) + BOOMERS (85) = 154 points

Monique Kornell. . . . SHAWLED (92) + BYE (21) = 113 points
Rex Kremer. . . . SMARTENS (82) + BROILER (30) = 112 points
