Lilac Bowlers!

We are in our last weekend of the 2026 Lilac City Tournament! Things have been a little hectic lately and again, I’m a bit behind in acknowledging some of the group leaders that help make the Lilac such a great and fun event.

The weekend of June 18th-21st we had bowlers with some of our long time group leaders Anitra Evans, Joe C Davis and Gregory Banks. Rounding out that weekend were bowlers with Akeem Wright, Veronica Copeland, William Feltwell, Shaun Chapman, Harry Mallow and Nina Glymph.

The weekend of June 25th -28th we were blessed with bowlers put together by Graham Eng, Barry Forbes, Christopher White, Stacey Desesaure, Paula Lee, Will Robinson, Harvey Smith, and Zachary Brown. A special Thanks to our friends Pam Walker and Dee Thompson for their Rochester based squad.

We had so much fun those two weekends and our thanks to all the bowlers, both with groups from out of town and those local bowers who support us year after year. My apologies if I forgot anyone as the memory isn’t as sharp as it used to be!

I’ll be back after this weekend as we conclude this year’s Lilac! Take care.

A “Thank You” for the past two weekends!

One of the best aspects of the Lilac are the friends we have made over the years. A lot of work is involved in running our tournament, but it becomes a joy when visited by the many groups that come year after year. We have had a lot of fun the past two weekends, shared a lot of laughs and hugs due to the following group leaders and their bowlers.

The weekend of June 5-7 we were honored to have the groups put together by Bob “The Librarian” Danylyk, George Austin, Ed Carter, Kimberly Johnson, Matt Militello, Mathew McCarthy, Tom “Twitter” Clukay, Bob Petrillo, Pat “Sweet Tooth” Charlebois, Kelly Cooper along with Ron Traver and a very nice new group of bowlers with Natlene Walters.

This past weekend we were very busy thanks to the bowlers put together by our long time group leaders Loretta Bellamy, Caroline Ellis, Danny D**g, AJ Ramsey, Al Williams, Mike Drazdzinski, Jennifer Dunkin-Dorazio, Rosalyn “I’m bowling again!” Stringfellow, George Pierce and the always smiling Michelle Layton-Brown.
A heartfelt “Thank You” to all of you, your bowlers and the many local area teams that have always continued to support us. Our Lilac bowlers are simply the best!

Take care!
Chris, Ray and Bonnie.
