Last week, the team at Merritt Gallery and Renaissance Fine Arts celebrated the onset of the New Year with an epic showdown of bowling and dining. Our wonderful staff from three gallery locations in Haverford, PA, Chevy Chase, MD and Baltimore, MD, and our frame shop reunited at Baltimore Inner Harbor’s “Mustang Alley” for dinner, drinks, and quite a memorable tournament. A lively time was had, from double strike-outs, to the ever-constant and unapologetic gutter ball, to avant-garde upside-down and backwards bowling. Getting everyone to join together outside of the office was a really nice way to build camaraderie and teamwork, bring out the inner cheerleader in us all, and get to know the newer members of the galleries. Not to mention the amusement of hurling a giant ball down a lane — there’s got to be some satisfaction in that! We came, we bowled, and we went home with spirits high. Until the next holiday party —
