The Firebirds versus the Snowbirds battle has come and gone, with 54 participants playing in the March 24 lawn bowling battle.
There were two games completed. The first was a regular eight end game and the second was a modified version of Australian pairs. The lead bowled ends 1, 3 and 5 as leads. Then, the leads switched to become skips for ends 2, 4 and 6.
After bowling, there was a meal of fried chicken, salads and desserts.
The Snowbirds showed well in numbers of attendees with a few more than the Firebirds. The Snowbirds were given 30 extra points added to their overall score because of their attendance. However, the Firebirds prevailed with a final score of 258 points to 233 points for the Snowbirds.
Twelve “goodie bags” were given out — six for the Snowbirds and six for the Firebirds. Six $5 gift cards were also given away — three and three — to the Dollar Tree. The final prize of the day was a 12-pound turkey (in keeping with the bird theme), donated by Tracy Anderson and given to winner Bill Prudencio.
The event was hosted by Andrea Strecker and Tracy Anderson.
