April has arrived and that means it is officially Derby Season in the Bluegrass! We kicked off Derby-themed parties this month and have more leading up to the big day on May 4th, and our local boutiques have everything to get you ready for all of the upcoming events. Check out our Derby Fashion section to see all of the perfectly curated outfits that our local shops have put together. Thank you to FHG Clothiers, Prim & Brim, The Purple Door Boutique, Heart Strings, Pappagallo, Kenzie Parker, Merle Norman & Boutique and The Charleston for such a fun day shooting these looks!

We had a fun line up of events this past month, including Derby Darlins; Purses, Pouts & Pearls; Ties for Change Gala and events to celebrate WKU Men’s basketball success as Conference USA Champions and their trip to the NCAA tournament! If you want to make sure we cover your upcoming event, please request event coverage on our website at www.vipbowlinggreen.com, or email [email protected].

Features this month include our VIP at Home which showcases the gorgeous home of Jared and Amber Nugent, designed by Laura Lee Childers and furnished by Bowling Green Home Furnishings. Our VIP Profile is Susan Mkanta. She has helped countless members of our community through her work at the International Center of Kentucky and their nonprofit organization, Community Agenda for Regained Empowerment (CAREUSTZ). In our Club Life section, we feature our beautiful local country clubs and all that they have to offer!

As always, thank you for being a loyal reader and allowing us to provide Bowling Green’s must have resource for everything happening in BG. Nominations for this year’s 40 Under 40 are still open, but will be closing on April 19th, so please take a moment now to go nominate a young professional making great strides in their work place and our community for our 2024 40 Under 40 at www.vipbowlinggreen.com!
