Accordions Anonymous' First Ever Polka Bowling Night! took place at Southtowne Lanes in Eugene, Oregon on Saturday night January 24th, 2004.

This fabulous fun-filled event included bowling, pool tables, bowling shirt and polka-dot contests, Accordion-Oke! and dancing!  At least half of the tunes were POLKA's, naturally.  A polka dance teacher was on hand at all times to assist those new to this delightful dance (and natural anti-depressant by the way) known far and wide as The Polka.

Polka Bowling Night was completely sold out, and a fabulous time was had by all!

Check back here for updates, including photos.  Due to the overwhelmingly positive response and participation, we are planning to host Polka Bowling Night again in 2005!  Watch this site for details.
