‘Princess & Pirate Breakfast Bowl’ debuts at Strawberry Lanes whole family can take part in, so we’ve been looking for new activities for a while now,” Kingsford said. “Not only are princesses and pirates very popular among kids, but they allow both boys and girls to get involved.” Kingsford thanked Strawberry Lanes for their generosity in agreeing to host the Breakfast Bowl, which Kingsford expects will return to the bowling alley on a yearly basis each spring, but she also credited the success of the event to the activities it included in addition to bowling. “The families really seemed to love having the arts- and crafts-making mixed in with the bowling,” Kingsford said.
