Feather Bowling

Feather Bowling is a game played with wooden balls shaped like wheels of cheese. The balls are rolled down a dirt alley towards a feather sticking out of the dirt at the other end. The object of the game is to get the ball as close to the feather as possible. Teams take turns rolling 12 balls and may knock their opponent's balls out of the way, similar to Bocce. The team with balls closest to the feather at the end of the game wins.

The game has it's origins in Belgium. The only known place to play it in the United States is the Cadieux Cafe in Detroit, Michigan
