January 13-19

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.

The newest exhibit at the National Corvette Museum is a fun-filled GeoCaching GPS Adventure for the whole family! Geocaching is a worldwide game of hiding and seeking treasure. People from all over the globe hide caches (treasures) and post the locations of these caches on the internet. Anyone with a GPS receiver can enter latitude and longitude coordinates to hunt for caches.

Get lost in the maze and learn to find your way using the latest technology! There will be a grand opening for the exhibit at the National Corvette Museum on Saturday, January 18, beginning at 11am. Don't miss special booths, door prizes and raffles and your chance to navigate the GPS maze and search for hidden geocache treasures. For more information about the exhibit and opening, please call 270-781-7973 or check out the website below.

The Kentucky Museum and VSA arts of Kentucky have partnered to produce an exhibition of artwork created during VSA arts workshops held at the museum. The VSA "Side by Side" exhibit features artwork of students with disabilities, area artists and the artwork they have created collaboratively. There will be a grand opening reception for the exhibit at the Kentucky Museum on Saturday, January 18, 2-4pm at the Dorothy Grider Gallery.

VSA arts of Kentucky is a statewide, non-profit organization dedicated to promoting arts, education and creative expression for all, with an emphasis on persons with disabilities.
