This has become an annual tradition with our Junior program.  The leagues take a bye for the Thanksgiving holiday, but in place of league we hold a No-Tap tournament.  As a side event, the kids get to Turkey Bowl.

When we were at Rocket Bowl they had a portion of lane bed that was used.  Since we moved to Corbin there was no lane bed available so a lane was designed on the concourse using trash bags taped to the floor.  It held up very well and the kids had a blast.  The "lane" was about 6 - 8 feet and regulation pins were set up.  I got to be one of the pin chasers and sometimes ball/turkey return.

What is really funny is seeing them try to hook the turkey.  As they were bowling with the 12 lb frozen turkey, I started to think about reviewing different brands of turkeys.  Which has the best pin reaction?  Is Butterball better than Tyson?

Only 1 guttered the turkey (had it leave the "lane" surface before the pins, 3 struck, and several spared.  There were also several splits.  I may have to give it a try next year.

Anyone participate in such an event?
