"A millennium from now, archeologists may be amazed how many different colored round objects they find in old ruins - not the eggs of some exotic creatures, but the remains of millions of bowling balls used throughout the years!"
"Alien" night is still on for this Saturday night at 8. Show up in a shirt with an alien on it and Jackpot Gary will let you bowl for half price. It looks like the 29th will be the last of Jackpot.
It's that time of the year for the "T" word. Jan and Gary for all your help and support; League Secretaries, taking the time for your weekly standings and getting them to me in time; Ang for delivering this every Monday morning. The followers and fans of bowling who join me every week - you are the reason I'm here. Enjoy your summer and hope you are all back with me next season!
Kaye Young will celebrate a birthday the 21st. Carla Gilman gains one the 22nd; Debra Kleman and Pam Franks the 24th; and Nadene Larson and Nicole Gardipee the 25th. May 1st, Lisa Morrell and Robin Myers; 4th, LeeAnn Stender and Mel Bergren; 7th, Betty Mariani.
Tuesday Women's City finished the year with Baker Amusement in first, Florens Hill County Printing second. Andy's Supper Club won Wednesday City followed by Bull Hook Bottoms.
Thursday Housewives has been wrapped up by McLeans Grocery but second is still up for grabs between BNSF Diesel Shop and VR Hair. If I figured right, PJ's Casino won the Thursday Mixers by a game and a half over Watson Trucking. Thursday Guys and Gals are won by Evans Optical with PDF, Inc. taking second. Simply You-Nique walked away with the Sunday Keglers. The last night was a position round with a lot at stake for Holden's Hot Wheels, VR Hair, and Lucky Strike Casino. When the night was over, the teams remained as listed for 2nd, 3rd, 2nd, 4th. Sorry to leave Straightaway hanging but they won't have their roll-off until May 1st.
