We need to open the bowling centers back up in Montana. 

Most bowling centers had already put extra precautions in place before they were closed down, but voluntarily shut their doors anyways at the governor's request. But now bars and restaurants are  open, but yet bowling alleys are still closed and it doesn't make a lot of sense, given that some of those bars and restaurants are in the bowling centers.

It's time to open them back up. Despite many attempts to contact Montana governor Steve Bullock, they have gone unanswered. They listened to him, but now he is not listening to them! 

Bowlers need to bowl to keep their averages up and stay in shape. If bowlers can't practice it will affect their averages when leagues and tournaments do begin again. Not to mention it's a great way to get some exercise for some of our older community members. 

Most bowling center owners in Montana have already lost two months of income from leagues. If they don't reopen soon, some won't survive. In most small towns bowling is one of the few sources of entertainment we have. We can't afford to lose what, to many, is considered a crucial business

The bowling centers have already prepared a strategy for social distancing, like only using every other lane, disinfecting shoes and balls, etc. And a lot of bowlers have their own shoes and ball. There is no reason why they still need to be closed.

It's time to get them back up and rolling!
