Teams bowl six Baker games while moving pairs, and total pinfall determines the winners with no match play. In the Baker setup, one bowler throws frames 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 while the other covers 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, then they switch who starts each game so each bowler anchors three. The start may be delayed to accommodate leagues, and the event will wait for bowlers coming from other centers.

Part of an all-ages series supported by The National Lime & Stone Company, this new musical reimagines Margery Williams’s The Velveteen Rabbit for today. It follows Lulu, now living with her Gran, along with her cherished toys and a den of legendary rabbits. To help her settle in, Gran gives her a velveteen rabbit like the one her mother had. As Lulu and the rabbit grow close, some toys grow jealous, and the rabbit longs to join the real rabbits glimpsed through the window. The journey reveals how love can change everything and what it truly means to be Real. A century-old tale set in the present comes to life with inventive scenery and playful costumes, creating moments of onstage magic and transformation. Gentle and reflective at times, playful at others, the show celebrates authenticity and speaks to audiences across generations. Approximate runtime is 50 minutes with no intermission.
