Fall Break Bash
Lost River Cave's annual Fall tradition is the Fall Break Bash! Featured fun at this year's bash includes discounted $7 boat tours. Treat yourself to a relaxing Fall "Staycation" with a visit to Lost River Cave.
But that's not all! Stop in for seasonal shopping at Wildflower Gifts! Bring the kids for the free Junior Tour Guide Program and have a family picnic next to the Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom. Get into the fall spirit by hiking the Scarecrow Trail (running now through October 27) and buying locally-grown pumpkins while at the park. For more information, please call 270-393-0077 or visit the website below.

NMRA All Ford World Finals
The NMRA All Ford World Finals are returning to Beech Bend Raceway in Bowling Green this weekend! This event wraps up the points battles in all of the NMRA's racing classes, and brings the most awesome All-Ford and Mustang action to the quarter-mile dragstrip. Beech Bend is special to the Ford world because the very first World Ford Challenge was held in Bowling Green.
There's more than just racing at this weekend's Ford finals. Get geared up for a manufacturer's midway, swap meet and the world-famous Burnout Contest! For more information, please call Beech Bend at 270-781-7634 or visit the NMRA All Ford World Finals website below.
