May 12-18

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.

Independence Bank's Freedom Square is hosting a Family Fun Night this Friday. The fun starts at 5:30pm with free activities like train rides for the kids, inflatables and free popcorn. The movie "Up" will be shown outside at dusk.

There will also be a Dunkin' Booth fundraiser for Relay for Life and Chaney's Dairy Barn will be selling their famous ice cream. Bring the whole family for a night of free fun! The rain date is Friday, May 23. For more information, please call 270-781-1776 or visit the website below.

Sesame Street is coming to Bowling Green this weekend! Bring the kids to see their live musical performance of "Can't Stop Singing." When Elmo casts a spell with Abby Cadabby's magic wand, there's something in the air - and Sesame Street becomes a nonstop, all-singing, all-dancing musical montage!

Featuring appearances by all your favorites like Grover and Baby Bear, Cookie Monster, Bert and Ernie, Elmo, Abby Cadabby and others! Tickets are still available. For more information, please call 270-904-1880 or visit the website below.
