May 2026 Editor’s Letter
I’ve always been told that May is the gateway to summer, and I think that certainly rings true. There’s something special about watching Bowling Green come into full bloom this time of year, as longer days and warmer weather bring a renewed energy to our community and a calendar full of events. That energy was on full display this month with a variety of Derby-inspired celebrations, including local Derby parties and a festive pre-Derby gala. We also had the pleasure of covering Fur Ball and Taste of Bowling Green, each bringing people together in meaningful and memorable ways. If you would like VIP Bowling Green to cover your upcoming event, I would love to hear from you. Please reach out at editor@vipbowlinggreen.com This month, we’re also excited to spotlight the local businesses that help make Bowling Green feel like home. Alongside our Local Business features, we’re introducing a new section, Local Flavors, highlighting the restaurants and culinary voices shaping our city’s growing food scene. Our VIP at Home feature this month highlights a thoughtfully reimagined property where a longtime connection to the land led to a full transformation into a custom family retreat. We’re also proud to feature Julie Milam of the Bowling Green Area Chamber of Commerce as this month’s VIP Profile, highlighting her role in supporting and advocating for Bowling Green’s growing business community. Thank you for being a loyal reader and for continuing to support the people, places and stories that make Bowling Green so special.
With gratitude,
Amelia Bowen
