Trevor is a Minier native himself, and has a very strong relationship with the Minier Lanes Bowling Alley. He has witnessed first hand the hard work and dedication that has made Minier Lanes a successful small town bowling alley. Trevor has enjoyed the events hosted at Minier Lanes throughout his childhood, growing up in the town. Trevor is a senior at Olympia High School this year, and received a scholarship to Missouri Valley College to compete for their bowling team throughout college.  “Having a supportive group at the Minier Lanes Bowling Alley has honestly helped lead me to success in my bowling career. I think that growing up in a town with a great bowling alley kind of kick started my passion for bowling. If I was not able to bowl as often as a kid, who knows if I ever would have really gotten into the sport.” 

Having the support of a future collegiate level bowler in Trevor, and many other outstanding bowlers in the area have really been a key to the Minier Lanes Bowling Alley’s success. Being in a small town can appear to be a large challenge on the outside looking in, but the relationships Minier Lanes has built with its local community has made it a lot less difficult to be successful. With many local community members seeing the bowling alley as a great option for some fun on a Friday or Saturday night, and others taking advantage of the tournaments available to them because of the bowling alley, Minier Lanes has a great impact on the community and it’s bowlers.
