Hall of Fame
The Sheboygan Area Bowling Association Hall of Fame was formed in 1990 to recognize individuals who were dedicated and accomplished bowlers in our association. Being elected into a Hall of Fame is the highest recognition that can be given to any person. New members are inducted at an annual banquet which all bowlers are welcome to attend.
