Learn Spanish from a real-life luchador! Join us for a fun game of Lotería for kids and families with wrestlers from Oasis Pro Wrestling!
Lotería is a traditional game enjoyed by many people in Mexico that is similar to bingo - instead of listening for the numbers you have on your card, you listen for the cantor (the caller) to call out the images on your tabla (game card).
This event will take place on Saturday, December 2 from 3pm tp 4pm. It will be followed by a meet-and-greet with the wrestlers.
Wrestlers appear courtesy of Oasis Pro Wrestling.
