Description: This organization just outside the Washington area can provide information about local lanes featuring duckpin bowling, a unique game featuring smaller, holeless balls (between three and four pounds each) and tiny pins. This variation got its start in Baltimore and continues to be a popular pastime in the Northeast. Young children especially enjoy the game, with its easily handled balls and three tries per frame.
