The Washburn County Area Humane Society's “Pins for Pets” 9-Pin Tap Bowling Fundraiser will be held on Saturday, March 4, 2017, at Northwoods Lanes, located in Spooner.
The last 3 years of running 3 shifts throughout the day have been such a strikingly successful “turkey” for this fundraising event, so Northwoods Bowling Alley Owner, Mike Miller, and the “Pins for Pets” Tournament Committee are going to do it again! These 3 bowling shifts will begin at 1 PM, 4 PM, and 7 PM (this last shift is Cosmic Bowling for those who enjoy the disco ball-lighted effect).
The registration fee for this event will be $20, which will include 3 games of bowling, shoes and ball rental if needed, snacks, prizes, a donation to the Humane Society Animal Shelter, and the fun of bowling for a great cause. The profit from this bowling event, as well as any WCAHS fundraiser, is used for the ongoing operation of the Washburn County Area Humane Society Animal Shelter, which is located just past the Washburn County Fairgrounds at the south end of Spooner, at 1400 Cottonwood Avenue.
Bowlers of all ages and skill levels are welcome and, as stated before, this will be a 9-Pin Tap Tournament which allows more bowlers the fun of getting a higher score because when 9 pins are knocked down with the first ball thrown, it counts as a strike. Bowlers may come as a team or sign up individually. Pre-registration is suggested and this may be done by calling Northwoods Lanes and Lounge at 715-939-1203, or by stopping at the alley to register for one or more shifts on the sign-up sheet. Bowlers may also register to bowl on the day of the event if there are still openings left.
The donation form competition is also back again, and if you bring in your donation sheet with $100 or more, you will bowl for free! A donation sheet may be taken from the shelter website www.wcahs.com or picked up at the shelter or bowling alley. This competition is another wonderful way of making this fundraiser a financial success. Also, if anyone would like to bring in an item from the shelter “Wish List”, they will receive a ticket for a chance to win a prize.
Because this March 4 bowling event is the first 2017 fundraiser for the WCAHS Animal Shelter and the fact that the “Pins for Pets” event is in its 12th year, the shelter employees, volunteers, and members hope to be “bowled” over with the response of supporters whether it is through bowling, donation sheet collection efforts, donation of prizes or food, or just coming in to say, “hi”.
WCAHS is very thankful for those who will “spare” the time and “strike” up the enthusiasm to join in the fun of “Pins for Pets” on Saturday, March 4!
