April 2026 Editor’s Letter
With April here, Derby season has officially taken center stage across the Bluegrass. Celebrations are already underway, with Derby-themed events filling the calendar and even more festivities building toward the big day on May 2nd. Local boutiques are fully stocked with standout looks for every party and race-day gathering. Be sure to explore our Derby Fashion feature, where you’ll find beautifully curated styles from some of Bowling Green’s favorite shops. Thank you to FHG Clothiers, Prim & Brim, Steel Mill Collective, Sorella, Noble Rags, Pappagallo, Kenzie Parker, Merle Norman & Boutique, Simply Chic, Thistle & Flur, Morgan Marie Photography and Boxwood 1843 for an incredible day shooting these looks! As this issue goes to print, I’m reflecting on what an incredible journey the past three years have been. Serving as Editor has given me the privilege of telling the stories that make Bowling Green such a special place — highlighting the people, businesses and organizations that continue to shape our community in meaningful ways. Along the way, I’ve built lifelong friendships and had the opportunity to work alongside so many inspiring nonprofits whose passion for serving others has left a lasting impact on me. While this will be my final issue in the role of Editor, it is not a goodbye. I look forward to continuing to support the magazine in a new capacity and remaining connected to the community that has welcomed me so wholeheartedly. Thank you to our readers, contributors, partners and friends for trusting me with your stories and for making these past three years truly unforgettable.
All the best,
~ Allison Razic
