Here's a alert for our resident bowler Dare. You may want to take a run up I-70 to Cincy, old friend. It's time for the Cincinnati Thanksgiving Frozen Turkey Bowl, an annual outdoor event using frozen turkeys in place of bowling balls.
Contestants will try to knock down 10 pins Tuesday by sliding rock-hard birds down a lane on the holiday season ice skating rink on downtown's landmark Fountain Square.
The person with the highest score after three rounds wins $100 cash and "WKRP in Cincinnati" DVDs including the series' famous "Turkeys Away" episode.
That's the one about a station promotion in which live giveaway turkeys are dropped out of a helicopter to their deaths - because the station manager thought turkeys could fly.
The frozen birds used in Turkey Bowl are discarded store turkeys not intended for anyone's table.
The event is sponsored by Jack Rouse Associates, a local company that designs theme park and museum attractions.
For those of you not framiliar with the WKRP episode:
