We are getting closer to opening the bowling alley and should be open for leagues this March.

We are looking for volunteers that would like to help out in exchange for FREE bowling… if interested please message us.

Also we are looking to hire bartenders - if you are interested please send a brief bio, picture of yourself, and summary of experience.

Thank you

We are getting closer to getting the video gaming machines in the bowling alley, and then we will be opening shortly afterwards. We have to get fingerprinted, and then the Illinois gaming association has to come out to inspect the premises and confirm gaming location inside the bowling alley.

We are juggling around the idea of opening a non-sanctioned league for those interested and also hosting weekly bowling competitons where you can win money!

We will update along the way. Thanks for all your patience.

We had Ameren come out today and turn the electric and gas on to the bowling alley! We will be submitting our video gaming application tomorrow! And we will be scheduling some meetings with past staff soon to go over a checklist of items needed to open up the bowling alley! We will be doing a thorough cleaning as well…

We still have to meet with beverage vendors and we would like to add a soda gun to have fountain pop instead of cans. We are not sure if we will add the soda gun right away or in a couple months. We also will add a food menu about a month or so after we open. We will have to apply for food certification and have anyone handling food also certified as well.

Shout out to Scott Wonder for taking time out of his schedule today to meet Ameren at the bowling alley, thank you again Scott, much appreciated!

We would like to know your thoughts… we have received several suggestions to offer 21+ (year olds) a place to meet and get together on Saturday nights (after bowling is concluded). Some people have called it EDM which is short for Electronic Dance Music. It’s popular for after hours bowling alleys and was brought to my attention recently.

The bowling alley could be large enough to host these types of events, we understand there is not too many larger venues in the local area where groups can get together.

What are your thoughts? Do you know people 21+ that would be interested in something like this on Saturday nights? If people like this idea we were thinking of advertising in surrounding towns to bring people out from other local areas.

Thank you in advance!

We just put one coat of cement block primer (not paint) on the building today. Sherwin Williams made a mistake and gave us 1 dark grey five gallon bucket and the other 5 in the light gray we originally requested. So we tried out the two-tone dark gray/light gray look even though the real paint colors will be slightly different. Also we plan on eventually painting the gutters, downspouts, doors, and other accents in black color. Hopefully we can get a few more warm days before the winter sets in otherwise we might have to wait for future updates when the weather gets warm again (paint needs 50-90 degrees in order to cure/dry properly)

We will also be repairing the mortar before officially painting

Long overdue… but now that we are active on this page we would like to give a BIG thank you to Donna Wood and her son Jerry (who is going to assist us with maintaining the lanes and training our staff on future maintenance) as well as the previous bar manager Scott Wonder and many others for being so gracious to help throughout the transition process. We hope to provide an atmosphere that caters to league bowlers/recreational bowlers and families/children alike. Thank you everyone, for being so supportive, I think the city of Lacon has some of the best people and I have been to a lot of cities/towns small and large. Thank you again!
