And there the game as remained for nearly 80 years alongside other Belgian favorites such as steamed mussels and Belgian beer. What in the devil is featherbowling? I&#8217;m glad you asked. Featherbowling is a sport that fuses the concepts of shuffleboard, bowling and boccee ball. Two teams roll\u00a0a flattened wooden wheel down a 60-foot-long, dirt-covered alley to get as close as possible to the pigeon feather at the end of the lane. Just to\u00a0make things a tad\u00a0more tricky the alley is curved like a ditch to make the wheel spin unpredictably. I&#8217;m not trying to brag, but I landed on the feather the first time I played. So if you&#8217;re up for a little competition, it&#8217;s on the Donkey Kong.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/challengedetroit.org\/amandagettgen\/files\/2015\/02\/DIME-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-160\" src=\"http:\/\/challengedetroit.org\/amandagettgen\/files\/2015\/02\/DIME-2-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"DIME 2\" width=\"281\" height=\"212\" \/><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/challengedetroit.org\/amandagettgen\/files\/2015\/02\/DIME-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-159\" src=\"http:\/\/challengedetroit.org\/amandagettgen\/files\/2015\/02\/DIME-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"DIME 1\" width=\"315\" height=\"210\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h1>3.
