Twenty-three teams and over 100 people convened at Midway Lanes on Saturday, February 11th for the 9th Annual YPN Chill-N-Bowl. The event raised a record-breaking total of $2,867 for our 2016 non-profit partner, Bismarck Cancer Center Foundation. This money was raised through entry fees paid by each team, a ‘spin to win’ game with chocolate and wine prizes just in time for Valentine’s Day, and a 50/50 raffle. The 50/50 raffle was won by YPN member Kayla Hieb, who very graciously donated her prize back to the Bismarck Cancer Center Foundation.

Four separate contests are put on at the Chill-N-Bowl: chili, costume/team spirit, team name, and bowling. A combination of the team chili and bowling scores is calculated to crown the grand champion winner of the Chill-N-Bowl traveling trophy.

Here are this year’s winners:

Best Chili and Best Costume/Team Spirit

Reptar on Ice – Katie Schlitz, Kelsey Baumann, Chris Nelson, Dorothee Wacheux, Heather Shieve

Best Team Name, Best Bowling Score, and Grand Champions

Pinsane in the Tenth Frame – Eric Miller, Jason Schmidt, Justin Davys, Andy Schmitz
