Bowling Scene
National Bowling Week not that far off Last week, I came across something I wanted to mention.
National Bowling Week 2006 is Aug. 26 through Sept. 1, and it is the first in what will be an annual celebration of bowling across the country, beginning with “National Bowling Day” on Aug. 26.
Its objective is to promote awareness of bowling across the country and to have fun. The week’s activities will include national contests and bowling promotions, as well as clinics and events in cities nationwide.
The National Bowling Art and National Bowling Photography contests have divisions for youth, amateur adults and professional artists. The subject matter must be bowling-related. Entries will be accepted June 1 through Aug. 1.
The National Bowling Essay Contest encourages writers to share their best bowling moment or describe how bowling has positively affected their lives. There is a Youth division for youngsters 17-years-old and younger and an adult division that those who are USBC members.
Entries will be accepted May 1 through July 1, and the contest winners will be recognized during National Bowling Week. Adult winners will receive cash prizes and youth winners will receive scholarship awards. Winning art, photos and essays will be featured in USBC and BPAA publications. For more information on all of this, go to www.bowl.com.

Summer is almost upon us. The school year is almost complete, and families will start their vacations soon.
Now, many people will have more free time on their hands, so if you’re looking for something to do, maybe you could join a summer bowling league.
Contact your local lanes to inquire about their leagues or you can just go out and bowl a few games.
