The event will be held Saturday, Nov. 28 at Thunderbowl Lanes in Allen Park . Squad times at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

 

The entry fee is a reasonable $9 for bowling only or $22 for bowling and the banquet following the 1 p.m. squad.

 

Each bowler will be given a commemorative gift and be eligible to win prizes either overall or in their age group. The age groups are 50 and under, age 50 to 59, 60 to 64, 65 to 69, 70 to 74, 75 to 79 and 80 and over.
