The legacy of one of the best bowlers in Door County history will live on September 26. Pat Cuculi, who passed away two years ago, will be memorialized with a Two Man Baker Doubles Tournament at the bowling alley he ran for 25 years. Apple Valley Lanes in Sturgeon Bay is hosting the tournament that will benefit the Patrick J. Cuculi Memorial Fund for Youth Bowling Scholarships. Pat’s daughter Michelle Pfannenstiel says her dad was all about getting youth involved in the sport he loved.
Cuculi operated Apple Valley Lanes from 1985 until 2010 before selling the business to Michelle and her husband Mike. Cuculi competed at the highest level on the PBA Senior Tour and was inducted into the Green Bay and Sturgeon Bay Bowling Hall of Fames. The deadline to sign up for the bowling tournament is September 19.
