Today's Events (Sunday, June 27)

 Hi, all!

I hope you are having a great summer. It's true that South Central Kentucky has more events than ever that are free or cheap or at least worth it. And the 4th of July is coming up. Many people will be having family events or get-togethers with friends or clubs.

A big thank you goes out to all the Bowling Green blogs and papers that help post cheap and free events all the time for us. You can go directly to their sites at the end of this posting. I will be posting the events for the rest of the week later on today.

Here are some things to do for today, Sunday, June 27th:

Sunday, June 27: 3:00 p.m. Seven Brides of Seven Brothers is playing at BG Junior High School, 900 Campbell Lane. If you have never seen this play, you will really like it. It is a rollicking fun musical. Tickets are $14, $12, and $10. You can find out more here: http://www.fountainsquareplayers.org/.

1-3 The Annual Butterfly Celebration is being held today at Lost River Cave and Valley. This event is free. 393-0077.  The event is at the Butterfly Habitat near the Cave. Free lemonade! Just ask anyone when you get there where the butterfly habitat is. You will take a short walk to get there. Find out more here: http://lostrivercave.com/events.html

Thank you, SOKY Happenings for these events. You can pick up a SOKY Happenings at many places, OR you can find them online here: http://www.sokyhappenings.com.

A note: always check each event before going to it in case of a typo or correction needed. Thanks!
