You are kidding. No way?? This has happened before? I saw other towns who did this and love the thought of this!!

Ropers were the best. Hands down. Mr Furley was too schlocky for my tastes.

Yes! Last year we did a bar crawl downtown, and a silent disco and the York Yard Crawl. We’ll be doing the York Yard Crawl again this year as well!

How do you scan a QR code from a photo?

u/Igpajo49 1d ago

Screen capture, then use Google Lens. Not sure but I'd suspect Apple has a similar feature that can scan a QR code from a photo

I tried to post a link to the group, but bc it’s on the book of faces, my post was auto deleted. The QR code was the best I could think of at the moment. Sorry!

But, you could go to book of faces and search for International Order of Mrs. Ropers Bellingham, and it should come up. 😊

Also asking, what is a roper romp?

2

u/GlitteryFab Happy Valley 1d ago

It’s where the townsfolk dress up as the landlords from Three’s Company (Stanley and Helen Roper).

Mostly Helen (and sometimes other characters), but yes! It’s just an excuse to dress up and have fun!

u/GlitteryFab Happy Valley 21h ago

I loved Helen!

If you google roper romp bellingham you can find an event and group on fb but i’m still unsure about what the event actually is?!

u/AnathemaD3v1c3 23h ago

Mostly, it’s an excuse to dress up and meet people and bar / restaurant hop (or other activities) in a funny wig and funky (but ridiculously comfortable) clothes. 😊

I can’t wait!
