Free Family Bowling Proves a Popular Winter Event

[February 06, 2024]   A crowded parking lot at Logan Lanes signaled a successful community event on Sunday afternoon. Co-sponsored by Lincoln Memorial Hospital’s Community Health Collaborative (CHC), Crimestoppers, and Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care (ROSC), this free family bowling event to promote substance-free family fun saw excellent participation from the community.

Logan Lanes was busy with families enjoying the afternoon, and even the littlest had a chance to try a hand at bowling with bumpers and ramps provided by Logan Lanes.

“It’s been a good turn-out,” said Grace Irvin, ROSC Prevention Coordinator, “No one is waiting, but every lane is full. We have not had to turn anyone away.”

CHC, ROSC, and Recovery in Action had booths with information and giveaways, and members of Lincoln’s police force and Crimestoppers served hotdogs, apple slices, and sandwich cookies. This was the first free family bowling event since it was paused by the pandemic, and it seemed like it had been missed.

Molly McCain, CHC Coordinator, summed up the day: “It’s nice to provide a free event for the community.” The hope is to bring back family bowling once again as an annual winter event.
