Week of March 26- April 1

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.

This year's early spring means an even more colorful welcome for the 2012 Amateur Disc Golf Championships this weekend. The annual event takes place at Bowling Green's eight disc golf courses plus Chalybeate Springs course, and registration hit its maximum this year with 640 players.

Competitors roll into town early in the week for some fun competitions and practice rounds Wednesday & Thursday. Then Round 1 begins at 2 pm Friday, Saturday welcomes Round 2 at 9 am and Round 3 at 2 pm, and then the Final Round starts at 9 am Sunday.

Spectators can head to any of the following parks this weekend to catch some of the action: Hobson Grove, Phil Moore, Kereiakes, Lovers Lane, Ephram White, Basil Griffin and Preston Miller in addition to the BG Technical College course. The top Advanced Division players will qualify for the 2012 U.S. Amateur Championships! For more information, visit the link below or call 270-843-3313.

Some of the finest tattoo artists from the Midwest will be on hand to showcase their award-winning work at this weekend's Black Diamond Blues & Tattoos Convention! Whether you're in the market for some new ink or simply exploring the idea and looking for designs, this show has something for you. Other event highlights include live musical performances by today's hottest blues bands all 3 days, vendors and other performers.

In addition, tattoo contests will take place daily and award recognition in categories like Best Tribal, Most Unusual, Best Pin-up, and Best Sleeve. Also enjoy the Art Fusion Show where three artists will collaboratively create on three canvasses by rotating until they're complete. The art pieces will be on display and auctioned off on Sunday with all proceeds donated to the Autism Society of America.

Spectator admission is $20 per day or $35 for a weekend pass (under 16 free with parent.) Visit the link below or call 270-827-8234 for more information.
