We had a couple squads in this past weekend for our 9-Pin Tournament. Saturday we had 20 bowlers from Colfax. They had a great time!! They were all dressed in St. Patty’s Day garb!!! Next year Tim DeMuth, their squad leader, informed me they were going to be in Hawaiian gear!!
Sunday we had a crew in from the Baldwin area. There weren’t any big scorers but everyone enjoyed themselves!! Ione DeSmith is still on top of the singles leader board with a 915 and Ione and Cindy Rassbach are the leaders in doubles!!
