SAVE AITKIN LANES

Donation protected
Aitkin Lanes was built in early 1960 and has been a staple in the Aitkin community.  It is a place where kids and adults can both spend their time and enjoy the company of others.  It has also been known to be a great place for families to have fun and spend time together.  

They not only offer bowling for everyone, but also host birthday parties and run both kids and adult leagues between September and May.

Aitkin Lanes has only had 6 owners in its history.  Scooby Christina Patrick (Harmon) purchased the lanes in 2006 after bowling in leagues for about 10 years.  The lanes are known in Aitkin for having the best hand pattied burgers in town.  They serve a variety of food besides the burgers.  Some local favorites that can be ordered there are pizza's, shakes and malts.   

When the state's covid 19 restrictions were put in place, Aitkin Lanes took a dramatic hit.  All bowling leagues had to be cancelled and all bowling shut down, including the after school program that local kids enjoyed.  The food and restaurant portion was limited to pick up and delivery only.

Aitkin Lanes is now facing an unknown future and looks as though they will need to close their doors.  With all that we have lost over the years it would be sad to lose such an important part of our Aitkin community.  Scooby is a person who is known for her giving and kindness to others.  She devotes her life to the rescue of animals in need.  In 2018 Scooby and a group of people started a non-profit called S.A.M. to help animals and the community.  To this day, even with her personal struggles with Aitkin Lanes, Scooby continues to play an important role in the care of the animals and the rescue.  It is our turn, as a community, to do all we can to help Scooby, who has given so much to each and everyone of us and our community. 

LETS ALL PULL TOGETHER TO SAVE AITKIN LANES!!!!
