The Team Irish Road Bowling at the 10th Celtic Calling Gathering will take place in Kanawha State Forest.The course starts at the Picnic Area located on left just after Rattle Snake Run. From there you bowl toward the Nature Center Parking Area. The course finishes at the giant boulder on the left of the road before The Salamander Trail.
Teams will consist of a minimun of 3 bowlers per team. If you haven't got a team, come anyway and we'll find you a team the day of the event. Team members will take turns to 'hurl' a 28 oz steel ball along the course. The team taking the least number of shots is the winner. From past experience bring a rake, metal detector to help find balls that may go off road.
Team Registration starts at 1 30pm, event starts at 2pm. Entry is free, but a refundable deposit of $5 for your road bowl is payable.

The KSFF currently has about 150 members of diverse interests and backgrounds committed to this common cause. The Foundation strives to advance the goals of its constituents as well as the Forest administration and Department of Natural Resources.
