CINCINNATI – Set up the pins, clear the lanes and try not to roll a gutter bird.

Cincinnati is warming up for Thanksgiving with its traditional Turkey Bowl, an annual outdoor event using frozen turkeys in place of bowling balls.

Contestants will try to knock down 10 pins Tuesday by sliding rock-hard birds down a lane on the holiday season ice skating rink on downtown's landmark Fountain Square.

The person with the highest score after three rounds wins $100 cash and "WKRP in Cincinnati" DVDs including the series' famous "Turkeys Away" episode.

That's the one about a station promotion in which live giveaway turkeys are dropped out of a helicopter to their deaths — because the station manager thought turkeys could fly.

The frozen birds used in Turkey Bowl are discarded store turkeys not intended for anyone's table.

The event is sponsored by Jack Rouse Associates, a local company that designs theme park and museum attractions.

LOL - we used to be given turkeys at my old company for Christmas. A lot of us would use them to bowl with when we brought them out to our cars. It never seemed to damage them - we still ate them. lol

They stopped doing it because a director would give the best ones to his friends and the people he liked, giving the rest of us birds that looked like they died of malnutrition! They changed to $25 gift certificates for them after that.

I'd rather have the DVD of WKRP anyway!
