Main Event centers nationwide have more than 11,000 bowling balls and annually host over 10 million games of bowling; FREE bowling, burgers and more promo to be awarded online on Aug. 10
PLANO, Texas, Aug. 7, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Any game that was invented in 3200 B.C. certainly deserves a national holiday.
Enter: National Bowling Day. Yes, before there was golf and soccer, or hockey and horse racing, there was bowling.
Now recognized annually on the second Saturday in August, this year’s National Bowling Day celebration falls on Aug. 10, and Main Event, where more games are bowled each year than nearly any other place in America, is offering guests a chance to win FREE bowling, burgers and more in honor of the all-time great game.
Entering is as simple as the game itself. Beginning today, Main Event guests can enter for a chance to win by filling out an entry form at mainevent.com/giveaway. Multiple winners will be randomly selected throughout the day from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. on Aug. 10.
Each lucky winner will receive one free session with up to five people of bowling (including shoes), food and other experiences to use once per month for an entire year. For rules and more information, visit Mainevent.com/giveaway.
“Our mission is to give our guests an experience to remember and having a blast with family and friends on National Bowling Day is definitely a way to do that,” said Sarah Beddoe, chief brand officer of Main Event. “Our entertainment centers are designed with the guest experience as top priority and taking part in our state-of-the-art bowling while enjoying our delicious food and beverages on a naturally fun holiday like this fits neatly with our brand purpose.
