The 2024 Midwest Bowl Fest is set for Oct. 18-20 at Dale’s Weston Lanes in Weston, with some changes from the inaugural event in 2023.

The funds that went to bring in professional bowlers last year now will go into the tournaments.

And the tournament menu was expanded with a focus on bringing in non-scratch bowlers via the Badger 800 Quads, an adult tournament with handicap.

The Midwest Bowl Fest also includes the Badger Baker Tournament with teams featuring two youth and two adults, the Badger Elite Open, Ladies Badger Elite, Youth Badger Elite with a new handicap division, and Storm Youth Doubles Tournament.

Details for each event are here.

There will be four webcast finals on Sunday.

The weekend again will support the Jason Elliott Foundation that “was established to honor a charismatic young man who loved life, his family, friends, taking care of others, and especially bowling! He died tragically in an automobile accident in 1995 at the age of 16. The foundation looks to continue his legacy by serving the youth in central Wisconsin through what he loved most; snowmobiling, hunting, and bowling.”
