Earlier this summer I heard that the Surf Bowl in Oceanside was offering free bowling to students but things got busy and I never made it over there to check it out. I emailed them and was told that yes, they are in fact giving free bowling passes away for the summer. All school aged children who live in North County San Diego can get a pass good for a free game of bowling and shoe rental for every day of summer break. The summer is sneaking away from us but I’m going to have to make it over there because that’s a great deal.
