The rain is falling and the scores are soaring. If you are not out bowling and having fun you're missing the boat.
Get a group, your family or just yourself and come out and enjoy some fun. The great thing about bowling is that you can do it by yourself, with the family or in a group and the fun and exercise are there for you.
The labor day doubles tournament was a good one as we had 122 entries.
If you didn't make it, you missed a good one. We still need one lady for Tuesday night's ladies league if you would like to bowl.
