August 2026 Editor’s Letter

As summer begins to wind down, there’s still so much to celebrate in Bowling Green. From community festivals and patriotic celebrations to preparing for a new school year and football season, this time of year reminds us just how much our city has to offer. One of the highlights of the season was joining communities across the country in marking America’s 250th anniversary. From Fourth of July festivities and fireworks to neighborhood gatherings and local traditions, it was inspiring to see Bowling Green come together to honor our nation’s history while creating new memories with family and friends. In this issue, we’re shining a spotlight on the people who help our community look and feel their very best. From the dedicated healthcare providers in our Top Docs & Health Pros feature to the local experts in Health & Beauty, we’re proud to recognize those making a meaningful difference throughout South Central Kentucky. We’re also honored to feature Lindsey Sanson as this issue’s VIP Profile, where she shares the passion, purpose and heart behind her work in our community. In VIP at Home, we explore the Cunningham family’s iconic Tudor residence, where globally collected treasures, timeless design and historic architecture come together to create a home unlike any other. With football season just around the corner, we’re excited to bring you our annual Game Day Fashion showcase. Whether you’re cheering on the Hilltoppers from the stands, tailgating with friends or heading out after the game, you’ll find plenty of inspiration from some of Bowling Green’s favorite local boutiques to keep your style on point all season long. As we look ahead to a new season, I hope you’ll take a few moments to enjoy these stories and celebrate the people, businesses and traditions that continue to make Bowling Green such a wonderful place to call home. Thank you, as always, for your continued support of VIP Bowling Green.

Wishing you all a wonderful summer,

Amelia Bowen
