Standing at the edge of the pasture at Edgar, Ann Lindvall calls, "Girl. Come here, Girl." The cow lifts her head, green grass protruding from her mouth, and plods toward us. Girl is blind, but she follows Ann's voice, and even acknowledged my voice by tilting her head when I called her name. Girl has earned a special place in Ann & Ron Lindvall's hearts since her rough birth 8 years ago.

Yes, the balls still roll and the pins still fall in the 8-lane bowling alley at Edgar that culminated a dream of Willy and Penny Hakanson's in 1962. When the Hakanson's dreamed of opening a bowling alley in their hometown, they began taking notes in every town they went to that had a bowling alley. One town in Kansas had just what they liked, so they brought the plan back home. In 1962, the Hakanson's opened the Regal Lanes in Edgar.
