January 19-25

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.

An exhibition of artwork created by young artists with disabilities and local artists will be on display at the Kentucky Museum at WKU beginning Tuesday and running through April 12. The "Side by Side" exhibit was created through the VSA program.

Meet the artists at the reception on February 7 from 2-4pm in the Dorothy Grider Garden Gallery. Regular exhibition hours are Monday-Saturday 9am-4pm and Sunday 1-4pm. For more information please call 270-745-2592 or see the website below.

Gene Watson, the masterful country stylist from Houston, Texas has been thrilling audiences for more than 50 years, is coming to SKyPAC on Saturday night at 7:30pm. Gene Watson's tally of 75 charted titles, 23 top-10 hits and six number-one records has led to membership in the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame. Radio listeners are still transfixed whenever classics like "Farewell Party," "Fourteen Carat Mind" or "Love in the Hot Afternoon" are played.

Note: As of last week, valet parking is no longer offered for SKyPAC events. Guests may park in the lot behind SKyPAC for $10. For tickets and more information please call 270-904-1880 or see the website below.
