The Nations Bank Bowling Bash, at the Hermitage Bowling Lanes, featured bowling, billiards, a silent auction and a host of celebrities.

Spotted at the event were teenaged country singing sensation Leann Rimes, Darryll Lewis of the Tennessee Oilers, former "Hee Haw" stars Jim and John Hager and songwriter/TV personality Gary Chapman.

The signature-laden PR-200 was auctioned off, and the Elvis Guitar was first prize at the Epiphone Lane where a strike entered the bowler in a drawing. Billy Pearson, a bowling-savvy former employee of Hermitage Lanes (and hopeful future star) wound up winning the EJ-200.
