Week of June 3-9

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

When summer arrives, it's time for the annual family fun events at Chaney's Dairy Barn. Selected as a Top 20 Event for Summer 2013 by the Southeast Tourism Society, Chaney's presents this year's season of Ice Cream & a Moovie. The first movie showtimes are Friday, June 7, and Saturday, June 8, at dusk.

Stake out a comfy place on the lawn with a blanket and chairs to sit with the family as you watch movies projected on the side of the dairy barn. All movies are free admission. Chaney's concessions will be available. Only family-friendly movies are shown. This year's first movie is "Madagascar 3." For more information, including a full list of movie showings this season and more about Chaney's Dairy Barn, please call 270-843-5567 or visit the link below.
