That One Time Prince Went Bowling in West Michigan
Back in 1997, Prince made a stop in Grand Rapids to play Van Andel Arena on his Jam of the Year Tour. While people who attended the show remember it fondly, a Wyoming man remembers that night for a different reason.
That was the night that Prince and his crew went bowling at Chez-Ami nightclub and bowling alley in Wyoming.
Bob Lomonaco worked at the bowling center at the time, and sat down with WZZM-13's Phil Dawson to talk about his experience with Prince that night.
Lomonaco can't remember if Prince himself actually bowled that night, but they kept a couple of lanes open for the artist and his crew after the bowling alley closed for the night.
Check out the whole story in the video below.
