Lincoln Lanes in Vernon, BC has been in operation for 50 years.  The owners have recently decided to retire and put the lanes up for sale. 

They want to keep it as a bowling lane, in order to continue to support the hundreds of league bowlers, the special olympic bowlers, and the families who hold birthday parties, as well as just average Vernonites who like to throw a game throughout the year. 

So far, no one has offered to buy it as a bowling alley.  There has been interest in tearing it down and redeveloping the property.  

We, the undersigned citizens of Vernon, are requesting that the City of Vernon purchase Lincoln Lanes and run it as a bowling alley.  The recreation services that Vernon offers for swimmers, skaters, athletes, etc. needs to be extended to those who love the sport of 5 pin bowling.  It is a sport that can be done by any age and any ability level.  It keeps children, adults, and seniors active.
