PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP — The Parrot Head Club of Grand Rapids is hosting a fundraiser that puts a new twist on an old sport. From 7-10 p.m. Wednesday, the club hosts The Ultimate Turkey bowl at The Score sports bar, 5301 Northland Drive NE.
Patrons who donate nonperishable food and cash will have a shot at becoming top hen tosser by rolling a frozen turkey down a makeshift alley. Proceeds benefit God’s Kitchen North of Rockford. The club is the nation’s 210th affiliated with Parrot Heads in Paradise.
Each is comprised of Jimmy Buffett fans who strive to improve their communities.
“There are so many needs in our area. Why not host events that center around having fun while doing good for our neighbors,” said Turkey Bowl organizer Kelly Henrickson.
