October is here, and I’m ready for crisp weekends filled with Hilltopper football, tailgating, visits to the Scarecrow Trail and pumpkin patches and all the fun fall activities that make this season so special. Fortunately, Bowling Green is packed with fall-themed events, so there’s no shortage of ways to enjoy it all!

This issue shines a spotlight on the Leading Ladies of our community—women whose achievements, leadership and dedication are shaping the future of South Central Kentucky. Their stories are inspiring, and we’re proud to share the impact they continue to make.

Our featured home is the St. Jude Dream Home, a stunning property with a mission even more meaningful than its design. You’ll also meet our VIProfile, Jose Gonzalez, owner of Mercadito Hispano and founder of Bowling Green’s Fall Fiesta. Jose’s leadership and commitment have made him an important voice not only in the Latino community but throughout our city.

If you want to make sure we cover your upcoming event, please request event coverage on our website at www.vipbowlinggreen.com or send me an email!

As always, thank you for being a loyal reader of VIP Magazine. It’s an honor to continue sharing the incredible work being done across our community.

Happy Fall!
