I've had the honor and pleasure of knowing Lt. Don Hollingshead of the Laramie County Sheriff's Department for about the last four years or so.

We knew if everyone performed at their best or above it we would have a great shot at a top 4 place, but we had a couple missteps at the state...

Owners Jim and Kate Zitek have decided to replace the half inch overlay that covers the wood lanes that were built in 1963. Having owned the bowling alley for the last 40 years this is the second time that the Zitek's have replaced the overlay, the first being in 2002.
