The ROC in St. Louis Park is dishing out its annual ShamROC Ice Bowling event this March 16, where participants will get to swap out their bowling shoes for something a little more, let's say, glacier-friendly. This quirky competition invites anyone 12 and up to try and strike their way to victory on a sheet of ice. A team of four can sign up for a total of $50, which seems to totally be worth the bragging rights of becoming an ice bowling champ.
According to the details shared on the event's official announcement, the festivities are set to run from noon to 5 p.m. Sledders better be quick to register before the March 12 deadline—or before the slots are filled. Once there, expect to (carefully) slide through four frames that promise fabulous prizes. And let's not forget to stick around afterward; the event promises more than just chilly thrills with food, drinks, music, and an ambiance that'll no doubt elevate the typical Saturday.
For those wondering about the pace of this ice-cold tournament, a game is estimated to last about 30 minutes. That's just enough time to build a competitive spirit without having to completely freeze over (we hope). Remember, this isn't your grandma's bowling alley, it's a winter spin on a classic arcade. So trade your sunscreen for your scarves and get ready to roll—or should we say, slide—the perfect game.
Those interested in knocking down pins at the ROC should hurry up and secure their time slots. With each team allowed to play four frames, the ice is set to become a battleground of friendly competition where the chill factor is high and the prizes are hot. "Bowl four frames to win fabulous prizes and stay for food, drinks, music and fun!", says the event page. Seems like it might just be the coolest game in town.
