Participants in the event included children and adults. Money was raised through
entry fees, raffles, silent auction and a 50/50 drawing. Area vendors and businesses donated raffle prizes. The event was enjoyed by people of all ages as they bowled backwards between the legs, skipped to the lane, and bowled through their partner's legs.
