We celebrated the holidays and the end of year by giving gifts to foster children, by decorating a tree as part of the Oakmont Plaza, and with a party at the Berger - including handing out trophies.

2024 Independence Day Tournament

Because of the heat, we started early and kept it to 10 ends. We had 24 bowlers making 8 teams on 4 rinks. The day began warm with a gentle breeze - perfect bowling weather. But it wasn't quite your usual game.

Scoring was done at 3 spots:
1. Where the Jack was - scoring like usual
2. Closest to the red golf ball - add 1 points
3. Closest to the blue golf ball - subtract 2

2024 April Fools' Day Tournament

A beautiful day for a tournament! To make things a little more interesting, bowlers swapped positions after each 4 ends, so even novices skipped and even experienced bowlers got to set the jack and rake.

First place was taken by Steve Pickell, Marilyn Garland and Bruce Rolland.

Second place was taken by Jim Golway, Gerry Macintosh and Topher Gayle.

The peanut gallery, with Michelle Macintosh, George Hasa and Tony Lachowicz, was small but mighty.

2023 April 1 April Fools' Day

The sky was dark and worrisome, but the day was beautiful. We had an amazing turn-out: 24 players! The devious plot to make the game foolish was to change positions after 4 ends. So, on end 5 skips became leads, and leads and seconds moved up. And again, on end 6, we changed positions. This was fun for those who hadn't skipped before and a challenge for those perpetual skips who were no longer sure how to set the jack or rake the bowls.

2023 March 17 St. Patrick's Day

We had 18 bowlers, 6 teams, 4 games. Jim Krause's team took first place, Richard Goodwin's took second, and Denise Lenahan's took third.

2023 February 20 Presidents' Day

A GREAT turn-out for our first game of 2023! We had 25 bowlers, 8 teams, 4 games. And beautiful weather (and it snowed just a couple of days later).
