1st Turkey Bowl to be hosted by chamber of commerce Nov. 5

[October 06, 2010]  The Lincoln/Logan County Chamber of Commerce invites you to take a break and get out from behind those desks or whatever work is tying you up or stressing you out, and enjoy an afternoon of fun and networking. The chamber is hosting its first Turkey Bowl on Nov. 5 at Logan Lanes, starting at 1 p.m. This bowling event will be a fun-filled afternoon of games, appetizers, music, prizes and a cash bar.

Participants may sign up as a team or as individuals. The chamber is looking for 16 teams of four.

There will be a first prize, second prize and the distinguished last-place turkey prize. You're also invited to design bowling team shirts or individual shirts. The chamber hopes that you will take the opportunity to get creative, go wild and show your team spirit. Prizes will be awarded to winners in the team shirt and individual shirt categories.

The chamber's Turkey Bowl will consist of three games of nine-pin no-tap. Nine-pin no-tap offers a great advantage because in addition to the traditional 10-pin strike, if you knock down nine pins with your first ball, it will count as a strike, too.

The music will be turned up, the lights turned down, and fun will be had by everyone. The Turkey Bowl committee will sell 50/50 raffle tickets and there will be other games and fun for bowlers and spectators to partake in, including a silent auction. If you are not a bowler, no problem. The Turkey Bowl needs spectators to enjoy appetizers and drinks and cheer teams on to victory.

The Turkey Bowl is a great way for you and your staff to network and foster team-building skills. This event is open to the community and is a fundraiser to help the chamber fulfill its mission and vision.

The chamber's vision is to be an advocate for business by providing leadership, programs and services that create, protect and enhance the business environment for the benefit of chamber members and Lincoln/Logan County.
