Turkey Bowling is a Thanksgiving event held annually in Cincinnati, Ohio. Contestants compete to see who can knock down the most bowling pins by sliding a frozen turkey across an ice skating rink in Cincinnati's historic Fountain Square. The tradition of turkey bowling has caught on, with towns throughout the Midwest sponsoring their own turkey bowling events for various charities.
