🎳 HAPPY 2 YEARS OF BOWLING IS LIFE!

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been two years since I started the Bowling Is Life page! In that time, it has grown to over 2,800 followers, and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the support!

Over the last two years, I’ve made some amazing connections with fellow bowlers, followers, professional bowlers, bowling center owners, and bowling enthusiasts. It’s crazy to think that when I started this journey, I had no idea how far this page would go or how many incredible people I would meet along the way.

From people reaching out to tell me how much they enjoy the page to professional bowlers sending me some amazing items, every bit of support means more to me than you know. I truly appreciate it all, and I will never take any of it for granted.

Thank you to everyone who has followed, supported, shared, commented, and helped make Bowling Is Life what it is today! I love learning about, sharing, and talking about a sport that means so much to me. Bowling has brought so many great people into my life, and I’m excited to see what the future holds.

Here’s to two amazing years and many more to come! 🎳❤️

Ellen Kelly of St. Louis, MO was a trailblazer in the world of women's sports, particularly known for her role in promoting women's bowling. She wasn't just an advocate; she was the first secretary of the Women's International Bowling Congress (WIBC). Back in 1915, she took the initiative to connect women bowlers nationwide by reaching out to bowling proprietors with her letters. The following year after the St. Louis Tournament 40 women from 11 different cites came together this meeting laid the groundwork to the foundation for what would become the WIBC.

As a competitive bowler, Ellen was part of the Progress team from St. Louis, which made history by winning the very first WIBC Championship Tournament team-event title in 1916. Her contributions to the sport were so significant that she was honored with induction into the USBC Hall of Fame in 1979. Ellen Kelly's passion and dedication truly helped shape women's bowling into what it is today!
