New era for Tarheel Lanes bowling alley, sold and revamped
HENDERSONVILLE – There were 400 new pairs of bowling shoes in the pigeonholes behind the front desk of Tarheel Lanes on Asheville Highway on a recent afternoon, some still in the plastic, from toddler sizes up to men’s 18. There were 190 swirly, pearlescent new bowling balls on the racks in rainbow colors. “I watched it go from blooming to almost dying and coming back to life,” Ellis Desimon, general manager for more than 30 years, told the Times-News of the alley Oct. 8. Tarheel Lanes, on Asheville Highway, is the biggest bowling alley in North Carolina west of Charlotte, with 32 lanes, according to owner Paige Boyd. Since buying it from the family of longtime owner Nick Peterson a few months after his death in 2024, Boyd and her husband Les Boyd have been quietly overhauling the place, putting a new shine on the neighborhood favorite opened in 1981. “We had heard it was going to be sold and they didn’t know what was going to happen to it,” Boyd said. They’re still working to bring the alley back to its former glory and promote the long-declining sport while employing many of the same people who have worked there

Fountain Inn Garden Club OCTOBER
What an exciting first meeting we had in September. Connie Gecy, a self-described butterfly enthusiast, entranced us with her delightful experiences of nurturing butterflies. Her visual presentation, with her commentary, was funny, engaging and educational. She shared stories from her personal firsthand experience of over 25 years of nurturing butterflies. Adult butterflies lay their eggs on a host plant and eventually, the resulting caterpillars feed and grow on the host plant. Nectar plants provide the adult butterflies with energy. She provided a handout with her own pictures of eight different butterflies that she has nurtured and specific host plants for each butterfly. She also listed general nectar favorites for butterflies, such as lantana, milkweed, zinnias, etc. Connie is also the Nature editor for The Simpsonville Sentinel. Her pictures of plants, butterflies, birds, and wildlife in her own backyard are often featured in her articles.
