SEVEN POINTS–Lakeplex Lanes in Seven Points was transformed into a ‘Sock Hop’ with chamber members and guests in ’50s attire, black-and-white checkered tablecloths and soda shop decorations, including 45 rpm records scattered throughout the bowling alley for the chamber’s new fall fundraiser, Oct. 22.
The inauguration of “A Night In Rock ‘n Roll Alley” was a success for the Cedar Creek Lake Area Chamber of Commerce.
Guests dined on delicious hamburgers with all the trimmings, fries, drinks and Dairy Queen ice cream sandwiches.
Linda Fernald/AB Graphics won the Lucky Bowling Shirt with $100 in cash, $50 bowling gift certificate and $100 in Texas scratch-off tickets.
