From our sponsor:

Here are the top three stories in Bowling Green today:

1. Several local businesses in Bowling Green were featured on the Food Network’s “Guy’s All-American Road Trip.” The show aired on Friday, May 26, and featured the National Corvette Museum and Motorsports Park, Chaney’s Dairy Barn, Thousand Trails Diamond Caverns RV and Golf Resort in Cave City, the Groovy Gus Donut Bus, and Bucky Bee’s BBQ of Cave City. The episode was filmed last June and the businesses had to keep it a secret until after it aired. (Kentucky Today)
2. The Rotary Club and several Bowling Green city departments have decided to repair and expand the damaged stream bank near Jennings Creek Elementary, which was damaged by the 2021 tornadoes. The project will include a classroom with stream access and sitting areas for students made with logs and boulders. The community will also have access to the stream learning space. (wnky.com)
3. Eric Burnett, who started donating plasma in college to earn money, has now been donating blood for over 30 years and recently reached his 10th-gallon milestone in Bowling Green. Inspired by another person's donation of 11 gallons, Burnett made it his lifelong duty to donate as frequently as possible, even participating in annual blood drives held by Logan Aluminum. With each donation potentially saving up to three lives, Burnett's dedication has likely impacted the lives of around 250 individuals. (WBKO)
