This Christmas will be remarkable for a few special bowlers thanks to the third annual United States Bowling Congress Holiday Auction, which will take place on eBay Nov. 30-Dec. 10 and benefit the Earl Anthony Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Featuring items that could be unique gifts for bowlers or investments for bowling center proprietors, USBC's Holiday Auction officially will end Dec. 10 at 9 p.m. Central Standard Time. Winning bidders will be notified on Dec. 11 and announced publicly after Christmas to avoid spoiling any holiday surprises.
