PINS AND WINS HIGHLIGHTS FROM THE JUST CALL MOE CELEBRITY BOWL-O-RAMA!
It’s not every weekend that you get to enjoy some fun at the lanes while schmoozing with the city’s local stars to raise money for a truly worthy cause. We recently rolled out the red carpet at the lanes of the Oviedo Bowling Center for the first Just Call Moe Celebrity Bowl-O-Rama, and it was a total strike! Our star-studded event brought together local talents like your favorite news anchors and radio stars for a spirited bowling competition. Not only did everyone have a blast, but we also raised $16,000 for Rosie’s Adventures. This incredible nonprofit supports children and their families who are impacted by childhood cancer. The afternoon was packed with laughter, competition, and heartwarming moments, from celebrity strikes to spectacular spares.
Thank you to the more than 300 people who made it out to our fundraiser’s debut and the wonderful celebrity bowlers who joined us! You all helped make this a huge success! Thank you to DJ Ryan from the Orlando Music Syndicate for all the great tunes throughout the night and to photographer Andrew Lewis of Avenoir Visuals for capturing all the action. We are also incredibly grateful to all of you who sponsored lanes and stepped up to help us raise the most funds possible for Rosie’s Adventures. A special shout-out goes to lane sponsor That Mortgage Guy Don for buying our bowlers’ first round of drinks. This may have been our first Celebrity Bowl- O-Rama, but it certainly won’t be our last! We love finding entertaining ways to support our community here, and this is just one more event we’re excited to add to our roster of
fundraising fun. Did you have a blast at our superstar sporting event? Are you ready for a rematch already? Stay tuned to our social media for information about next year’s event and our other events. We have tons of awesome pictures on our Facebook and Instagram from the Bowl-O-Rama, so stop by to see if we snapped a photo of you in perfect bowling form or having a laugh with me and the crew. We are deeply grateful to everyone who participated and supported our first Just Call Moe Celebrity Bowl-O-Rama. Your enthusiasm and generosity have significantly impacted Rosie’s Adventures, and we can’t wait to do it all again next year! As for me, you know I’ll be working on my bowling game!

LAWS GONE WILD!
greatest foes. We’re not sure the cats are on board with this rule. If you’re caught flirting in New York, you could pay a $25 fine. In the early 1900s, flirting was such an issue that cities held an annual Anti-Flirt Week. This law aimed to help women feel safer on the streets by diminishing catcalling from passing motorists. Reportedly, a second offense would require the offender to wear horse blinders in public! While these laws may seem silly, no one enforces them anymore — even though they’re still on the books. Instead of holding any weight, they offer a glimpse into the concerns of our forefathers. The next time you encounter a strange law in your town, take a moment to ponder the history; you never know what you might learn about the place you call home. AMERICA’S MOST BIZARRE LEGAL RELICS
Thanks to our country’s perpetually in flux judicial system, countless laws are still on the books that echo times long gone. They’re outdated and absurd, often leaving citizens wondering, “What necessitated that rule?” Let’s look at some bizarre laws from across the U.S. (even if no one enforces them)! If you’re in Wyoming, avoid tattooing any horses.
quick errand? Wait, what? Don’t tie that long-necked beauty to the wrong anchor point in Atlanta. It’s believed this rule was enacted to prevent animal abuse, but it is unclear why lawmakers got so specific. Get married in Texas by publicly announcing yourselves as husband and wife three times. Make it legal with three public announcements, even if only one spouse is present for the proclamation. The requirement states that both parties must be willing participants, over 18, and unrelated. All cats in New Jersey must wear three bells to alert birds of their whereabouts. Outdoor cats are notoriously dangerous to the local wildlife populations, and Cresskill, New Jersey, decided they needed a law to protect feathery friends from their
This law was made to stop people from making horses unrecognizable to their owners. Apparently, that was a big enough
issue back in the day that it needed to be codified. Don’t tie your giraffe to a telephone pole or streetlamp in Georgia. Isn’t it embarrassing when there’s nowhere to tie up the family giraffe on a

Family Fun at the Tailgate

Score Big With Kid-Friendly Tailgates
Bring kid-friendly snacks and drinks. The average tailgate lasts a few hours, and most people enjoy at least one meal during that time frame. While most tailgate foods are simple appetizers and easy-to-make dishes, ask your kids or any kids attending if they want anything specific. Fill one of your coolers with sliced fruit and juice boxes to ensure your kids have a healthy food option and child-friendly drinks. Plan a few different activities. Your kids will get bored if there’s nothing to do at the tailgate besides listening to pregame coverage and talking to others. Invest in cornhole boards or other games, and see if someone in your group is comfortable with face painting. It doesn’t have to be extensive, but having a few kid-friendly activities prepared will keep boredom at bay. Encourage your kids to show support for their team. Whether you’re a fan of the home or away team, you and your kids should wear the right colors to show your support. Let your kids pick out a shirt, jersey, hat, or other team-affiliated apparel to help them get involved. Finally, don’t forget about your child’s need for a nap. Be sure to bring pillows and a blanket for them, and set up a comfortable spot for them to rest when needed. Doing so will allow everyone to enjoy the upcoming game to the fullest.
Football season is underway, and many Americans will start spending their Saturdays and Sundays tailgating in stadium parking lots. It doesn’t matter if you’re going to an NFL or college game; tailgating is a great way to spend time with your friends and family before the big game. While many tailgates consist of adult activities like drinking alcohol and blasting loud music, many prefer to make it a family affair. If you plan to have kids at your tailgate, you need to ensure they have everything they need to have fun. Here are a few ways you can help your kids make the most of their day at the tailgate!
