Our friends from Remax volunteered the last two Fridays at the Special Olympics bowling tournament. We also had the Harrison Police Department, Boone Co Sheriff’s Department, CS Bank, FedEx, North Arkansas College, BCSS, ILI, UCP, Bost, and several local schools represented. It was such a great event. Thanks to everyone who came out to support the amazing athletes!

Today we hosted the local student Special Olympics bowling tournament. This is the most heartwarming event. Alpena was so sweet and sent us some bowling pin cupcakes. You are all such amazing people and a blessing to our community. Thank you to all the volunteers who made this possible. Merchants League members Casey (FedEx), Mitchell and Dominick (CS Bank) helped tremendously! Our friends from Remax and the Harrison Police Dept worked hard at scorekeeping and awarding the medals. Plus all of the school staff and Trish who pulled everyone together and made this go so smoothly. You all are rock stars (come get some cupcakes)! 🎳

Sorry for the short notice, but we will be closed this evening (10/5/23). We are hosting nearly 130 Special Olympics student athletes early tomorrow morning and we need all our lanes in top shape. We apologize for any inconvenience. We do want to thank all the volunteers who are making this such a wonderful event! 🎳

DirecTV installed our satellite service yesterday! We now have ten 130” screens, so you don’t have to miss your favorite team play! The photo with the lights on doesn’t do it justice; this turned out better than we expected and we are so excited. (The lanes are dry from being walked on all day and the blacklights are not on, this is just to show how cool it looks.)

Our kitchen hood bit the dust after the storms Thursday night; we most likely took a lightning strike that fried a few different things. We will probably not have them back up for league Monday unless somebody local happens to have the part in stock Monday.

The Carter Grace Foundation supports our local community and helps create special memories. Thank you for supporting Special Olympics. We can’t wait for the main event to see how far our local athletes will go! ❤️

Here’s a behind the scenes look at the pinspotter working to reset your pins after you bowl them down. He is standing on the pinspotter facing the back of the building with his back to the bowler. The pin wheel brings the pins up to the distributor arm. The distributor arm spots the pins in the bins above their spot on the lane and gets a set ready to go for the next frame. It’s hard to believe these machines are over 60 years old and can still keep up with the bowling. 🎳

We found another nostalgic sign in the back. Does anyone know what years this might have been valid for the league bowlers? Fun fact, the WIBC and ABC merged to become the USBC in 2005. 🎳
