Marcy’s Ice Cream Bowl is a bowlathon and ice cream recipe contest (judged by local celebrities) at the Franklin Family Entertainment Center the afternoon of Sunday July 26, 2009 from 1:00 – 4:00 p.m..
Bowling
Register to bowl as an individual (3 games) or as a team in your own lane. A team can consist of 4 people bowling 3 games or 6 people bowling 2 games.
Bowling is a great way for families to have fun together and a great team building experience for corporate groups.
Each bowler is asked to gather pledges from friends and co-workers. Please download the pledge sheet from the Downloads page.
There is also a kids’ (ages 3-12) tournament on the Highway 66 mini lanes. At the end of the day, the child with the highest game will receive a prize.
Also, there is a special “prize lane” with competitions going on throughout the day.

Ice Cream
We all scream for ice cream – especially in the Summer.
Marcy’s Ice Cream Bowl is a great way for ice cream crankers to show off their best recipe and win wonderful prizes. The event will also be a great way for participants to enjoy a cool treat on a hot day.
Ice Cream Recipe Contest
Ice Cream recipes can be either homemade or your favorite store bought ice cream with your added, special ingredients. Ice cream recipe contestants must use at least one product from our dairy sponsor in their recipe. The winning ice cream will be decided by our panel of celebrity judges and by public vote.
Ice Cream Tasting
With payment, each person will receive a wrist band that allows tasting of all ice creams and the ability to vote by placing money in a jar by their favorite ice creams.

About Marcy:
In 2000 my wife, Marcy, then 37, was winning 5 and 10K races. She was room mother and Brownie troop leader for our daughter (then 6) and soccer mom for our son (then 11.) In August of 2000, she was diagnosed with ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease. This is a motor neuron disease which doctors say is always fatal. 50% of patients die within 3 years of diagnosis. Marcy has chosen life.
October of 2000 Marcy resigned her executive director position at Happy Tales Humane – the no kill animal shelter she started in Franklin, TN. She stopped walking Thanksgiving of 2001, had to get a feeding tube to eat September of 2002, and since March of 2003 has been quadriplegic and on a ventilator in our living room at home. As Marcy’s caregiving took more and more of my time, I had to leave the advertising agency I helped start. Since March of 2003, caring for Marcy has been my 24/7/365 job. Aside from a little money from Social Security, our income is almost entirely gift income. Blessedly, we have been able to keep our home.
