June/July 2026 Editor’s Letter
Summer has a magic all its own, and nowhere is that more evident than in Bowling Green this time of year! There’s something special about this season. The school year comes to a close, graduates turn their tassels toward their next chapters and families begin filling their calendars with vacations, celebrations and long evenings spent outdoors. The days seem a little longer, the sun shines a little brighter and our community takes on an energy that feels uniquely summer. From neighborhood cookouts and trips to the farmers market to concerts in the park and beloved traditions like Duncan Hines Days, some of our favorite summer memories are made right here at home. This month, we’re celebrating the people who help shape our community through our Community Leaders in Finance, Law & Insurance section, highlighting professionals whose impact extends far beyond their industries. We’re also honored to feature Ashlee Wilson Quinn as this month’s VIP Profile. From television and theatre to community leadership, Ashlee shares how storytelling, service and a willingness to say yes have shaped her remarkable journey. For those who love history and architecture, we’ll step inside Boxwood 1843, one of Bowling Green’s most storied homes. Dating back to the 1840s, its rich history, remarkable restoration and enduring beauty continue to captivate visitors nearly two centuries later. As you enjoy the season ahead, I hope you’ll take a few moments to slow down, soak up the sunshine and enjoy the stories in these pages. Thank you for continuing to support the people, places and moments that make Bowling Green such a special place to call home.
Wishing you all a wonderful summer,
Amelia Bowen
