At least 20 games had been played by 5 p.m., just hours into the fundraiser that went from noon to 11 p.m. at Lariat Bowl, organizers said. Children as young as 5 were bowling, some using bumpers, right alongside adults in one lane, while in another, a grandmother and her teenage granddaughters were cheering each other on and nearly every lane was full around 4:30 p.m. "We're not really bowlers," said Alan Wylie of Red Bluff. "We're here to help the fireworks com- mittee. It's nice that it's a fund- raiser that doesn't cost extra be- cause Lariat Bowl is just donating a portion of what they bring in to- day to the fireworks." Wylie and his wife, Alyson, came to enjoy an evening of bowl- ing with their daughter Elle and her boyfriend Drew Poppleton, both of Red Bluff. Alyson Wylie said she liked that the bowling fundraiser was some- thing that can be used to bring the community together as well as a fundraiser that works toward bringing back the fireworks.

JULIE ZEEB — DAILY NEWS By Julie Zeeb jzeeb@redbluffdailynews.com @DN_Zeeb on Twitter RED BLUFF Local actresses from Shasta and Tehama coun- ties partnered Saturday to bring awareness to issues and get people talking about vio- lence against women through their portrayal of monologues representing women of vari- ous ages. The eighth annual event presented by V-Day Tehama/ Shasta, "The Vagina Mono- logues" production by Eve En- sler, was directed by Tina Rob- ertson as a benefit for the Girls Inc. of the Northern Sacra- mento Valley. Prior to the start of the show, Patty Glaspy of Red Bluff entertained the crowd for about half an hour along with reminders that her daughter Margaret Glaspy had a CD in the lobby and 100 percent of the night's proceeds from sales would go to Girls Inc. Margaret Glaspy is a Mercy High School graduate and ranked 13th in the nation in the Junior Division of the Old Time Fiddle Competition in 2007, a gold award finalist for the National Foundation for Advancement in Arts in the popular voice category in 2007 and a presidential scholar in the Arts. She was recently fea- tured in Rolling Stones maga- zine, Glaspy said. Saturday's event goes hand in hand with the mission of Girls Inc., which is to empower girls to be strong, smart and bold, said board President Heather Wright. "It's all the same mission," said Executive Director Kate O'Rorke. "To educate girls and the community about violence against women." The nonprofit organization, which was founded in Tehama County by Barbara McIver in 2006, is celebrating its 10th an- niversary in 2016 serving girls ages 6 to 18 in Shasta and Te- hama counties through pro- grams and workshops at local schools and community cen- ters.
