Have had the joy of bowling with Nora and being beaten by Nora at some fun events. Congrats to this young bowler. Yet also noticed a name that bowls here at Top Hat Lanes with Ellie Trapp on a 2nd place team, adn 1st Place Doubles with her partner Courtney Hein.

Fun to see these young bowlers chasing these trophy’s

Youth bowling in milbank will be starting later in September.

🚨‼️ Just like USBC Adult Nationals, the USBC Youth Open (Nationals) are not treated any differently! The USBC Eagle trophy is one of the most prestigious and historic championship awards in the sport of bowling. 🦅🦅

And we have someone from our state taking home the EAGLE! Nora Schmidt from Arlington, SD! She finished 1st Place in the U10 Girls Singles Scratch and 1st Place in the U10 All Events Scratch. What an incredible accomplishment!

🧑‍⚖️ Now that the OFFICIAL results are in for the USBC YOUTH OPEN CHAMPIONSHIPS, here is the list of the South Dakota bowlers who have placed high enough to earn SMART Scholarship money! We couldn't be more proud of all the 48 SD bowlers that attended this year.

Looking for 1 or 2 more staff to help keep bowling going in Milbank. I need more staff to be open more hours. Stop up and see me (dan). Our new machines are not needing a person to sit on these machines, so i can teach the staff the simple issues that might pop up. Main job is helping customers with food/beverage.

Not going to watch the Bulldog Football game tonight, come out for some bowling fun. or call for Family Cosmic Bowling on Saturday night.

💦 WATER LINE BREAK! 💦

Well… apparently the water line decided it was tired of holding everything together and chose violence.

Our crews are on it and working to get the situation fixed as quickly as possible and will be doing whatever it takes to convince several gallons of water that THE ALLEY IS NOT A SWIMMING POOL. 🏊‍♂️💦

Please slow down and give our crews plenty of room to work.

We apologize for the inconvenience, the mud, the equipment, the puddle, the splash, and whatever else this little underground tantrum decides to throw at us.

We appreciate your patience while we remind this water line that WE are the ones who decide when it gets to take a vacation.

Thanks for your patience, everyone! 💦🔧

Water line: 1
City: 0
But we’re working on the comeback.
