Turkey Bowling on Fountain Square

Cincinnatians got into the spirit for Thanksgiving today with an annual outdoor bowling event using frozen turkeys which makes national news.

Contestants tried to knock down 10 pins by sliding birds down a holiday ice skating rink on downtown's landmark Fountain Square. 

Dwight Lunken of Forest Park had the highest score after three rounds.  He wins $100 cash and "WKRP in Cincinnati" DVDs including the famous "Turkeys Away" episode. That's the one in which the station drops live giveaway turkeys out of a helicopter and to their deaths on the ground below, because the station manager thought turkeys could fly.

The frozen birds used in the Turkey Bowl are discarded store turkeys. The event is sponsored by Jack Rouse Associates, a local company that designs theme park and museum attractions.
