Congratulations to Wilson's Bowling Center who celebrated their 60th year in business last Friday, September 16th. What an accomplishment!

Bowling is a great way to get some exercise, as it can burn more than 200 calories an hour, and also uses and builds 134 muscles, improving your balance, and increasing your hand-to-eye coordination. All this while having fun. What more could you ask for!!
