Duckpin Bowling in Indianapolis
Sunday, Feb. 26
Have some "spare" time?
Join your fellow Huskies from 2-4 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 26, at the Fountain Square Theatre Building in Indianapolis, Indiana, for a vintage game of duckpin bowling.
Duckpin bowling, which is similar to ten-pin bowling but played with a smaller ball and shorter pins, rose to popularity during the 1920s and spread along the east coast. Today, duckpin houses are still found only in the eastern states with the exception of two locations in Indianapolis, the only authentic duckpin bowling in the Midwest!
Attendees will enjoy bowling, shoe rental, appetizers and one drink with each paid registration. Lanes are reserved for bowling from 2:30-3:30 p.m.
