The bowling alley will be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday for people to stop in and look over the renovation progress which includes new pinsetting machines and overlays for the alleys. There will be a raffle and a donation jar set up during the open house with funds going toward the renovation expenses.

Hopefully everyone will plan to participate once the date is set. |
