Congratulations to OK Lanes for winning the Inaugural Business Bowling Bash, held Saturday January 21st at OK Lanes in Oldtown. Ten teams bowled their best, with a bunch of fans and spectators also on hand to cheer them on, all hoping to claim ultimate bowling supremacy. Maybe we should have known OK Lanes might field a powerhouse ... they certainly had home lane advantage! The team was made up of Sharon S. & Sharon R., Steve D. & Steve E. and Jeff. [Makes us wonder if you're more likely to get a lot of Strikes and Spares if your name starts with "S" ....]
