Week of April 18-24

Welcome to our weekly "What's Happening" email, designed to provide you with a glance at opportunities for an unbridled good time in the Bowling Green area.

Follow Peter Cottontail down the Corvette Trail this weekend as the National Corvette Museum presents its Bunny Brunch on Saturday beginning at 1 p.m. Enjoy brunch with the Easter Bunny then participate in Easter arts & crafts and other activities including Easter Frisbee decorating, and games. There will even be a Museum egg scavenger hunt with prizes!

For a little icing on the Eater Egg, have your child's picture taken with the Easter Bunny in a silver Corvette for only $5 for a 5"x7" print. Prices are $8 for children 12 & under and $12 for adults. Museum admission is INCLUDED with your ticket. Reservations are required by calling 270-781-7973. To learn more about the Corvette Museum, visit the link below.

Support our superb local theater troupe while you laugh and cry with a Public Theatre of Kentucky performance of Driving Miss Daisy this weekend or next. Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize, the play takes place in the Deep South, in 1948, just prior to the civil rights movement. Having recently demolished another car, Daisy Wertham is informed by her son that henceforth she must rely on the services of a chauffeur, a thoughtful, unemployed black man.

In a series of absorbing scenes spanning twenty-five years, the two, despite their mutual differences, grow ever closer to, and more dependent on each other, until eventually, they both come to realize they have more in common than they ever believed possible.

Show times are Thursdays at 7 p.m., Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sunday, April 17 at 3 p.m. For more information, visit the link below or call 270-781-6233.
