“Limerick Bowl has the great honor of becoming a host facility for the Special Olympics for Bowling along with all participants being able to compete free of charge,” said manager Ronald Nicols.

While bowling does not belong to the Olympic sports, it is among the most popular sports in the Special Olympics, according to event organizers.
