It's a Strike, a Spare. It's Turkey Bowling

CINCINNATI (AP) - Set up the pins, clear the lanes and try not to roll a gutter bird.

Cincinnati is warming up for Thanksgiving with its traditional Turkey Bowl, an annual outdoor event using frozen turkeys in place of bowling balls.


The person with the highest score after three rounds wins $100 cash and "WKRP in Cincinnati" DVDs including the series' famous "Turkeys Away" episode.

That's the one about a station promotion in which live giveaway turkeys are dropped out of a helicopter to their deaths - because the station manager thought turkeys could fly.


The event is sponsored by Jack Rouse Associates, a local company
that designs theme park and museum attractions.
