A total of 135 attendees, including more than 40 costumed critters, had a ball at Kenmore Lanes last Saturday, Jan. 28 during the “When Furballs Strike” bowling meet, a gathering of anthropomorphics fans from the Pacific Northwest.

Anthropomorphics fans enjoy cartoon animals – animals with human characteristics – and often get full costumes made of characters they have personally created. The meet, which is held seasonally, draws visitors to Kenmore from all over the greater Puget Sound region, as well as Canada and Oregon, and was the largest of its kind ever held on the West Coast.
