"I wonder whether listeners realize that almost all bowlers, when talking to their exploits of years ago, tend to remember a little big?"
Joanne Antley and Art Olson have moved into the top spot of the Mixed Doubles with a 1428. Cindy Norton and Russ Boucher are currently in second with 1324 and she and Greg Mapes sit in third with 1321. There is one weekend left with shifts on Saturday from 1 to 5:30 p.m., Sunday 12 noon to 9 p.m., with hour and a half bowling time. Entry fee is $24 per couple; 1:10 pay ratio; and $500 guaranteed first place prize. Penningtons, Gusto Distributors, and Havre Distributors are each adding $125 to the sanctioned tourney.
Joe Johnson and Kasay Shettel each won $100 from the pillpot, leaving it at $125; strike $325; and YABA $292. Jackpot Gary extends a big "T" to the crew from Gary & Leo's IGA for joining in on the fun Saturday night. Every Saturday night at 8 the fun begins with Gary and he has a "Toga Party" lined up for March 11. If I'm lucky and we both remember, details will be here next week.
