Colony Bowl Bowling Pin

$150.00
Sold

When I was 16 years old, I worked as a pin-chaser for $2.25 an hour at The Colony Bowl in Algonac, Michigan. I remember working the back during Saturday night’s Moonlight Bowling League, and I’d drop a red pin in the number one position every time it was this girl’s turn to bowl. If she got a strike, she won money. If she got multiple strikes, I think she could win a trip somewhere. I had a massive crush on her, but she was such a bad bowler that she never got a single strike. Everyone around her knew something was up because she was the only one, ever, to get 10 red head pins in a row. What guys won’t do for the girls they have a crush on?
