In between games, our engaging emcee keeps the energy high with entertaining riddles, heartwarming stories, and good-natured jokes. It’s a classic pastime that harks back to a time when coming together as a group and sharing the thrill of the moment was what made it special.

    The enthusiasm for Wii Bowling at UVRC is contagious, especially when it comes to cheering on our reigning champions, the UV Okies.
