Driving past the unassuming white building of the Solms Bowling Club may not warrant a second look by the typical passer-by. However, once they pass through that bright red door, the establishment is a place for its members to have a cheap night out with old friends and fresh faces, all while preserving well over a century’s worth of nine-pin bowling tradition in Comal County.
This Saturday, the longtime New Braunfels institution is celebrating its 125th anniversary with a member appreciation party for both current and former members alike.
