Editor's Letter




The highly anticipated 40 under 40 issue is finally here, and we are thrilled to share the stories of this amazing group with everyone! We received so many incredible nominations this year, we considered ourselves lucky to have such a tough time choosing only 40. This group is so well-rounded and from so many walks of life, but they all have one thing in common: they are making the most out of their lives by bettering our community. To nominate someone for next year’s 40 under 40, follow our social media pages and be on the lookout next spring.

September means the start of football season, and we have the calendars for both WKU and all the local high schools, so you won’t miss any games this year! Our VIP Profile is on Chase Carpenter, a local entrepreneur who owns several businesses around town. For our VIP at Home, we showcase Bryan and Amanda Downing’s charming farmhouse. We continue to have fun going to many different events around town, and this month includes several back-to-school Hilltoppers events, concerts in the park and many different charity events! As always, if you want to make sure we cover your upcoming event, please request event coverage on our website at www.vipbowlinggreen.com or email me at [email protected].

Thank you for being a loyal reader of VIP Magazine, we hope you enjoy reading this issue
as much as we did creating it! 

GO TOPS!
