Do you like competitions? Are you way into forming words from individual lettered tiles on a game board marked with a 15-by-15 grid. Do you insist that such words appear in a standard dictionary? Then tonight’s your night, weirdo.

The Smoke & Barrel Tavern has been hosting some board game(ish) competitions for the past couple on months and tonight is a Scrabble Tournament. Sign up by 8pm and get yourself entered to win some bar credit. Form some words and then form a nice hangover with your winnings. If you win, then you win. And then a few hours later, you don’t win. But overall, that’s two wins and one lose. So it’s a win!

After you win/win/lose, you could check out George’s Majestic Lounge just down the street. Tonight features Backyard Tire Fire from Illinois with Mark Bilyeu of local faves Big Smith.

Fayetteville Farmers’ Market: On the square (7am-2pm)
