 From noon to 5 p.m., bowlers can enjoy a game for only 99
cents. There will be a bags tournament beginning at 1:30 p.m., with
registration starting at 12:30. There will also be a Scotch doubles
tournament at 7 p.m., with registration starting at 6:30. Both the
bags tournament and the Scotch doubles will have cash awards for the
winners.For those who may not be familiar with Scotch double
bowling, the team consists of two members: one male, one female.
During the course of the game, members are told to do "different
things" as part of their game. It is a fun and unusual way to bowl.
In addition, event T-shirts will be on sale and there will be a
50-50 drawing.
From 8 p.m. to midnight, the band The Shake will provide live
entertainment.
There will be a cover charge for the entertainment and
registration fees for the bags and Scotch doubles tournament, the
proceeds of which will go to St. Jude's.
The Lincoln to Peoria Run is scheduled for Aug. 3. The run will
begin at 5:30 a.m. at the Logan County Safety Complex, the police
station for the city of Lincoln. The run will be conducted relay
style and will end at the Peoria Civic Center at approximately 5:30
p.m.

Currently 30 runners are signed up to participate on the Lincoln
team, but more are needed. There is still time to sign up if you
would like to participate. The sign-up deadline will be June 20.
Each runner will be asked to raise $750, all of which goes
directly to the St. Jude Children's
Research Hospital.
The Lincoln team pledged $30,000 to St. Jude last year and would
love to top that this year.
The work that St. Jude does is important in the fight against
childhood cancer and other catastrophic diseases. No family is ever
turned away due to inability to pay.
