National Bowling Week
Jul 19th
Bowling is a great way to spend some much needed quality time with your family and friends. Just think – the excitement of a small child (or even an adult) when they get their first strike, the awesome sight of a group of teens sharing pizza and laughing, people dancing, pins toppling, the general air of joy… Who could pass that up? I certainly couldn’t. That is why I plan on going to Cedar Lanes all week August 2 – 7 and soaking up as much of the happiness as I can.
Cedar Lanes is celebrating National Bowling Week, so why not join me and take advantage? They have some great deals going on all week, (including $.99 per game on Saturday!!), check out the events calendar for all the details. I hope to see you there!
