| Blindfolded Bowling... |
I have to admit that I stole the Beef & Bowl idea from
Matt Hastings. Last summer, him and his lovely wife Lori (our Track Meet MC)
invited Allyson and I to a Beef & Bowl to raise money for their daughters
cheerleading squad. That seemed like
such a success that I thought we could give it a try to help raise money for
our club. The bowling alley (Pike Lanes)
is a great little place! Rachel and her
family were very nice to us and easy going.
We had a great turnout of Speedsters, their families, and friends. Our always pleasant Activities Director
incorporated some silliness when she put together “Silly Bowling” for game
number 2. Each lane had a grab bag
filled with wacky ways to bowl, each bowler got a chance to pick from the bags
and follow the directions. Some of the
funnier ones were dance and bowl, bowl with your other hand, and blindfolded bowling
which I thought was great until someone who was blindfolded completely missed
their lane and almost put their bowling ball through a wall. The food was delicious and I’m not saying
that only because Allyson was the one who made the food, but because it was good
stuff! Allyson made Buffalo Balls: Turkey
meatballs made with blue cheese and a spicy kick. BBQ Pulled Pork: Mouthwatering pulled pork bathed
in Jack Daniels BBQ Sauce. Texas Caviar:
A succulent, colorful, homemade salsa.
Denise added these awesome chocolate dipped Strawberries. The Cohen’s brought some tasty donuts
too. As far as I could tell everyone
that came out last night had a very enjoyable time, even those that didn’t
bowl. It was great to see everyone not
sweating and panting for a change, instead everyone wore Kool-Aid smiles and
laughed contagiously. I can only see
this event growing larger as our club continues to build. I hope if you joined us last night you join
us again at next years Beef & Bowl and if you didn’t make it out I hope you’re
able to clear your schedule when it comes around again.
We were able to raise $462!
Thanks to:
Allyson Thompson
