Members of the Minnesota National Guard 147th
construct a new bowling facility in IRAQ.

Thanks to the tremendous support from St Paul USBC Association bowlers and the Bowlers to Veterans Link (BVL),  Members of the Minnesota National Guard 147th unit were able construct a new bowling facility in IRAQ.

The  St Paul USBC  has sent  3 portable carpet bowling lane kits to active duty troops in Iraq. 

The kit consists of a 26 foot long red, white and blue carpet bowling lane, a 5 lb. rubberized bowling ball and lightweight plastic bowling pins. The lane, ball and pins, packaged in a nylon carrying bag, can be set up in a few minutes time, whenever a break in the schedule permits. The kit also includes score sheets and instructions.

The carpet bowling kits help the members of the Minnesota National Guard 147th fight the long hours of boredom between patrols.
