FALL ACTIVITIES GUIDE THE ASTORIAN SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, 2020 • 7 Bowling alleys beginning to roll again By GARY HENLEY The Astorian Katherine Lacaze Gearhart Bowl. Adult bowling leagues are moving forward as scheduled at Lower Columbia Bowl in Astoria. Fall leagues offer spots for four-person men’s, women’s or mixed teams. Lower Columbia Bowl is open Tuesday through Saturday from noon to 9 p.m., closed Sundays and Mondays. League nights, which began in September, are scheduled for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday nights. Bowlers can join anytime, said Casey Gray, general manager at Lower Columbia Bowl. Distancing guidelines between lanes as a pre- caution over the coronavirus are undecided. “We have 12 lanes, so we can go every other lane,” Gray said, with the possibility of opening all 12 safely. Staffi ng has been tough at Lower Columbia Bowl, Gray said, as the business was closed for three-and-a-half months until July, he said. “It’s a weird time we’re in. We don’t know if we have to go by restaurant, bar or bowling guidelines,” Gray said. Lower Columbia Bowl offers a family friendly atmosphere, with bowling for families, along with food, adult beverages and a full ser- vice pro shop. Wednesdays are “dollar-off days,” with $1 off on shoe rentals, every game of bowling, fountain sodas and adult beverages. “Bowl free” coupons are offered on their website at lcbowl.com. To join a league, bowlers can call 503-325- 3321 or come in to Lower Columbia Bowl. S taff will put teams or individuals in touch with the Lower Columbia Bowling Association, which is not affi liated with Lower Columbia Bowl. Gearhart Bowl League play begins in September at Gearhart Bowl. Length of the league season varies within the different formats, with a minimum of four bowlers per team.
