Bowling Center Updates Scoring
» Katie Carr - Peotone Vedette - 08.21.08
The Peotone Bowling Center is celebrating its 10th anniversary by bringing its eight lane bowling alley into the 21st century.
An electronic scoring system is set to be installed on Aug. 25, and it will include eight 32-inch flat screen monitors and two flat screen televisions hanging above the lanes at Peotone Bowling.
The alley will also be installing a new touch screen cash register that will accept credit cards.
In the past, the center only accepted cash, but installed an ATM on-site about two years ago.
The gutters will also be installed with removable bumpers.
The alley, which has been operating since 1946 and is owned by the Jurres family of Peotone since 1998, has only used a "paper and pencil" way of scoring.
"It was time to be in the 21st century," LouAnn Jurres said. "Most alleys have this now."
The system will take three to four days to install, and over 10 hours of training are required.
