Turkey bowling tradition continues

Turkey bowling tradition continues

Winners get to take home a turkey.

Turkeys are hitting the bowling lanes Wednesday night — literally.

The 13th annual Turkey Bowling event is taking place at Treadwell Arena starting at 7:45 p.m. Wednesday. People of all ages will have a chance to use a frozen turkey as a bowling ball to try and roll the best frame they can. Everyone will have one frame, and the top finishers in the adult and youth competitions get to take home a turkey.

Don’t worry, the winners will get a different turkey than the one that’s being bowled over and over. Admission is the same as normal open skate admission: $7 for adults and $6 for youth. The event is expected to last until 9 p.m., and there is also disco open skate going on.
