THANK YOU!!

Because of you, BowlFest 2008 raised over $40,000 for the Brookfield Craft Center's programs, scholarships and studio renovations!!  One number is not enough to describe the success of BowlFest 2008. We think the smiles and happy faces of our 300 hundred guests and friends best express the joy and success of BowlFest. Everyone had FUN helping raising funds for the Brookfield Craft Center!

 
It takes many, many hands to create BowlFest. We want to especially thank the very special people who made our incredible fundraiser and celebration possible this year through their generous gifts and support.
