Major Changes At Callicoon Lanes
Major construction will soon be taking place at Callicoon Lanes on Route 97.
Callicoon Lanes owner and manager Tom Russell said he is waiting for a public hearing and final approval for the construction of a 2,000 square foot Italian-American restaurant which will be attached to the parking lot side of the bowling lanes near the main entrance to the building.
The new restaurant will also have access for bowlers inside the building and is expected to be open for the start of the new league season in September.
Since the new restaurant will take away some of the present parking new additional parking will be built in the rear of the existing building and a new driveway will circle the building and exit out onto Route 97.
Russell also announced interior plans for the installation of new ball returns and new Paramount Industries rubber sidekicks in the pin deck area. Paramount is promoting the new rubber sidekicks that they say will provide better scoring, more bounce and more ball and pin action.
Interior renovations also include painting and improved lighting over the lanes.
Russell said he was concentrating on providing a much improved scoring shot for this upcoming 2007-08 league bowling season and has been receiving professional instruction on how to use his AMF lane dressing machine for the improvement of scoring conditions.
The Callicoon Lanes owner noted that improved maintenance procedures were going to be put into place for the Brunswick pin setters and additional maintenance for cleaner pin deck, pin setters and ball-returns would be in place for the 2007-08 season.
The addition of a pro-shop selling bowling accessories is also in the planning stages.
Next year Russell indicated he probably would add new pin deck's to all 10 lanes.
Beginning June 8 for 10-weeks the Adult Junior league is back for another season. Teams consists of 3 or 4 bowlers with any combination of adults and juniors. The league bowls at 8 p.m. and costs $8 per person for two games of bowling, shoes and one slice of pizza and soda per bowler.
Summer instruction for youth will also take place with top bowling teachers helping children understand the fundamentals of bowling. Sign up includes a free ball, bag and shoes.
Russell also announced that Callicoon Lanes is also going to give bowlers the opportunity to bowl their way into the Guiness Book of World Records when they host the only 24-hour bowling marathon in the country this August. This event is open of men and women in which they will have to test their skill to bowl as many games as they can in a 24-hour period.
The entree fee of $100 includes breakfast, lunch and a dinner buffet and every bowler will receive a cash prize and the opportunity to be awarded the top 24-hour bowler by the Guiness Book of World Records.
Three divisions of men's, women's and double's will take place every Saturday starting August 5.
