"Participating in Kids Bowl Free is a natural extension of that partnership. We believe that by providing a space for families to gather and children to play, we are taking another step toward creating a better future by investing in the next generation."Aside from the KBF, the bowling center offers a unique twist.

"Being one of only two centers in the city to provide this program is a responsibility we take seriously. We'ire not just providing lanes; we're providing a summer's worth of memories for kids who might not otherwise have the opportunity to get involved in the sport. Registration has only ben open for a week and we already have over 100 kids signed up."Parents can register their kids or the program by going to www.kidsbowlfree.com and selecting Bob-E-Lanes as their bowling center.The program will run from May 1st to August 31st.Its about time to watch on your time.
