January 20-26

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 latest performance from the Public Theatre of Kentucky is based on Jane Austen's acclaimed novel, Sense and Sensibility. Sisters Elinor and Marianne find themselves captivated by two very different men in this lively and dynamic adaptation. The show opens at the Phoenix Theatre on January 24 and goes on for several performances through February 9.

The Public Theatre of Kentucky provides the Bowling Green community with great local talent and experiences in the arts. For more information on Sense and Sensibility, please check out the website below or call 270-781-6233.

This time of year is challenging as we fight the cold and search for new activities to keep us busy. The Community Farmers Market of Bowling Green is offering special Folk School classes all winter, designed to find innovative ways for crafting and creation.

This week's class features the art of tie-dyeing. For $20, you can make two tie-dyed bandanas, or for $30 you can make the bandanas and take home a kit to make a few tie-dyed t-shirts too. Future classes include sessions on knitting, making your own bird feeder and dry felting. For more information, please visit the website below.
