There are a few other details:
1. The bowling alley was nice and clean. Located in Strawberry Hill at 4th & Barnett. It's a Bar and Grill with a bowling alley, and pool table. Sort of like a VFW or Eagles Nest without the bowling alley, of course.
2. Plenty of parking in front of the Church (St. John the Baptist Catholic Church) on 4th Street, overlooking Lewis & Clark / I-70 / Downtown KC.
3. Must buy their beer. Bud Light bottles are $2.25. They have other brands - Corona, Boulevard Wheat, Miller, Miller Lite.
4. NO Debit Cards. CASH ONLY - CASH ONLY - CASH ONLY.
5. 4 to 6 televisions to watch sports, news, American Idol.
6. Six bowling lanes. There were bowling leagues playing. 24 people bowling, at the time Vicki and I were there.
7. Bathrooms are clean. At least the Women's bathroom was clean.
8. They have a CD player w/ speaker system. We can bring our own music.
9. They have a couple of long tables where we could bring and set-up our own food. Crook Pots and so forth.
10. We can bring in our own softdrinks, wine, hard liquor, and food. We always have great food you dont want to miss!
11. We can start our family event at 6:00 pm. The Father wants us out before midnight. We can do this thing from 6:00-11:00 pm.
12. Lastly, the price is $250.00. This includes the use of the hall, adult bowling shoes and a lot of bowling balls to pick from. (The kids can bowl in their socks). The more family members that commit the cheaper it will be for everyone. About $12 per family.
