Bowling’s top stars turned out for the PBA Hall of Fame induction ceremony at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas, honoring Randy Pedersen, Dale Eagle and Len Nicholson.
The PBA graciously allowed Bowlers Journal International and the World Bowling Writers to present special awards at the dinner.

- Kelly Kulick was the recipient of three awards: the BJI Glenn Allison Hero Award (for her history-making victory in the PBA Tournament of Champions), the BJI Person of the Year Award (for the impact her victory had in drawing attention to bowling), and the WBW International Bowler of the Year Award (for her overall record during 2010).
-
- Bill Vint received the WBW Gosta Zellen Distinguished Service Award, recognizing his lifetime of service to bowling journalism.
-
- What’s wrong with this picture? Norm Duke received the BJI Glenn Allison Hero Award, as did Kelly Kulick — whose plaque he is displaying here. Duke was honored for his three consecutive victories in PBA majors, an unprecedented accomplishment.
-
- The presentation to Vint was not announced in advance, so it came as a complete surprise to the PBA publicist.
