(KAIR)--Thanksgiving week has arrived, ceremonially kicked off Friday during the annual ALPS 93.7 FM Turkey Bowling competition, with the bowlers using a frozen turkey, courtesy of the grocery store, in place of a bowling ball.

This year, as hosted by the 93.7 FM Morning Petting Zoo, the competition was a matchup between city, county, and state, with each position represented appropriately.

Dr. Allen Reavis, Representative for Kansas' 63rd District, represented the state during the competition.

Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson was a return bowler to the corner of 5th and Kansas Friday morning, representing the city, as rain fell on the bowlers.

Representing the County was 1st District County Commissioner James Campbell.

All three bowlers, wearing frozen-turkey caps supplied by Reavis, took their turns in 3 sets of bowling the frozen turkey down the Atchison sidewalk, knocking down regulation bowling pins, until Campbell was declared the winner.

Campbell took the victory with a score of 27 during Friday morning's competition, held for more than 2-decades by 93.7 FM, in partnership with ALPS, who provided one winner, matched with Campbell through a phone call to the Morning Petting Zoo, with a free, frozen turkey of their own.
