A Brief History:

 

    The organization meeting to form the Ohio Women's Inter-City Bowling Tournament was held April 21, 1929 at the Buckeye Bank Auditorium in Findlay, Ohio.  At this meeting, Edna Schnurr of Sandusky, OH was elected President and Cleone Walters of Findlay, OH was elected Secretary.  Edna and Cleone served for 31 years as officers and decided since they had started together, they would depart together.

 

    The first Tournament was held in 1929 in Bucyrus, OH and ran for one week-end.  Team event winners were Big Island Parks from Sandusky with a 2382.  Doubles winners were Edna Schnurr and (?) Johnson from Sandusky with a 1021.  Singles winner V. Bennett from Bucyrus with a 546.  All Events was won by Ruth Satz of Sandusky with a 1542.
