However, If You Are Like Me And Can't Ride A Motorcycle But You Are Epicurean, Come Check Out "Taste Of Bowling Green". OOHHH WEEEE!

Taste of Bowling Green expected to include items from 40 vendors
By ALYSSA HARVEY

The Kentucky Restaurant Association South Central Chapter will help make some children’s wishes come true with the 25th annual Taste of Bowling Green.

The event will be April 7 at the Sloan Convention Center. Doors will open at 7 p.m. Tony Rose of 100.7 SAM FM will be master of ceremonies, and Skip Bond and the Fugitives will perform.

Tickets are $40 in advance and $45 at the door and may be purchased from any Dream Factory board member, at Balloon-a-Gram or any Chuck’s Liquor Outlet. Ticket holders will get a wine glass with the Dream Factory logo and the KRA logo.

“We are so excited,” said event chairwoman Beth Lennan. “We have about 40 vendors from Bowling Green and the surrounding areas. A lot of new vendors are going to be participating as well.”

Proceeds benefit the Dream Factory of Bowling Green, a nonprofit organization that grants dreams to critically or chronically ill children ages 3 to 18. The event typically brings in enough funds to sponsor four to eight dreams for the local chapter. Last year’s Taste of Bowling Green raised about $15,000 for the organization, Lennan said.

Vendors will offer a variety of food and drinks for guests to sample, and there will also be door prizes and a silent auction. The auction will include six tickets to a suite at a 2011-12 Western Kentucky University Lady Toppers game of choice, spa gift certificate, a business suite at a Bowling Green Hot Rods game, items autographed by Franklin-based PGA Tour golfer Kenny Perry, original art from local artists, fashion jewelry and a trip to Gatlinburg, Tenn.

The good cause, wide variety of vendors and atmosphere keep people wanting a taste of Bowling Green, Lennan said.

“We are the original tasting event of Bowling Green,” she said. “People love coming to this event. The proceeds go to such a great organization.”
