greg vavra 300 game Greg Vavra accomplished a feat on Thursday, February 4, 2010 that Wessington Springs bowlers had tried to do for the past 103 years. He bowled the first known sanctioned perfect 300 game during regular league night at Pla-Mor Lanes.

Most local bowlers were wondering if the 300 game would ever come. The closest anyone had come before was a game of 298 by Clint Jost some 25 years ago.

Deer me!

The doe stayed about five minutes and then moved down Green Street.  The deer also left a deposit at the house, which you can see in the picture. Photo courtesy John Paulson, Wessington Springs.
