When Furballs Strike (WFS) 53 - Furry Pride 2025 at Kenmore Lanes

When Furballs Strike 53 is set for Saturday, June 7! It will be our annual "Furry Pride" themed event as we celebrate Pride Month together on the lanes. There will be many fun, themed gifts in our Prize Raffle, and amazing giveaways for all bowlers!

We are thrilled to announce EVERY registered bowler will get a custom rainbow wristband with our event name and "Furry Pride 2025 - FurLife NW" on it! For our Supersponsors we have a great selection of pride-themed keychains and pins, or a WFS/FurLife logo fridge magnet in 4 different designs. Ultrasponsors get BOTH the magnet & keychain, even more raffle tickets, and a special gift: A full-color print WFS logo water bottle to stay hydrated this summer! Please consider Ultrasponsoring to support our event.

If you pre-reg, there will be a separate, much faster-moving line for where you check in, pick up your raffle tickets and lane assignment. Pre-Reg closes at 11:59pm on Wednesday, June 4.

FURSUIT CHANGING/GROUP PHOTO

We have a dedicated room for fursuit changing/storage (behind the party room partition). Please be courteous to other attendees and only use this room if you need to, and try to space out usage so it doesn't overcrowd.

The fursuit group photo is taken at 2pm before bowling starts. When setting up for the photo please let shorter fursuiters be in the front, and spread out side-to-side as much as possible since the photo is taken as a panoramic. Those in front must either sit or kneel.
