The Bridge is Still Standing
50/50 Skill Shot Pot – $1.00 per ticket sold during events. How does it work, you ask? If your ticket is drawn, you’ll draw a card between 3-8. Then to win the pot, your task is to leave that number of pins STILL STANDING (because in a city of bridges, we’re hoping they never fall down!) If the person misses, the pot rolls over to the next event. (We draw one chance per event.) If it rolls over to the end of the last event, we’ll draw till someone wins!

COVID-safe
We know that the world has changed and there is always going to be uncertainty around events in the age of a pandemic, so here is our approach to making this work:
-
The event will be fully COVID-safe and compliant above and beyond any basic government health requirements to do what we reasonably can to protect your health and safety and that of all attendees. That will include appropriate social distancing and other measures (please bring your own mask if needed, we might not have extras). We rely upon the state of Oregon and Washington County and will set parameters around masks, etc., based on their recommendations at the time of the event.
-
COVID cancellation: if the event is cancelled or must be rescheduled due to COVID issues, we will offer you a full refund.
-
It’s in everyone’s interest to ensure anyone who feels unwell stays away from events, so if you are showing any COVID-like symptoms, please let us know and we will find a substitute to bowl in your place.
