Coconut Bowling at Blue Heaven

You might think that a coconut is round. You'd change your mind if you tried to bowl with one.

The restaurant Blue Heaven sponsored a coconut bowling contest all afternoon. The idea is to roll a coconut down a dirt lane, to knock over a bunch of fake pineapples. I don't know how many frames were involved, but the winning score at the contest I saw was 17, so obviously it isn't so easy.

The bowling coconuts were painted brightly, which didn't help them slide, although maybe it was a little easier to watch them not slide. You can see the standing pineapple pins that are the destination of this coconut on the left. The pins on the right have been knocked down by another skilled coconut bowler. Alongside the festivities, a man with a machete was cutting coconuts and grilling them up.
