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.
We have an opening or two for Mix League and the men's league. If interested please call 483-2283. We need you.
