Members of the senior centers in Blaine and Ham Lake the morning of Feb. 10 competed against each other in a Nintendo Wii bowling tournament at the Ham Lake Senior Center.

Many of the 16 senior citizens that participated had played the game before at either their senior center or at a relative’s home.

“It’s wonderful for seniors. It gets them moving and get their blood flowing,” said Rhona Marie, who attends the Blaine Senior Center, but lives in Ham Lake.

…A unique twist to this Wii tournament, that was the brainchild of Meyer, was a bowler would get a card for each strike or spare. Once they collected more than five cards, they would discard a card to keep a five-card hand. The bowlers with the best poker hands won prizes.
