Happy New Year!

By -
Wow! It's almost the end of the year already. So if you're not in a coma from all of the holiday sweets, then you're probably thinking about everything that has happened this past year. We're in the same mindset over here at the Convention and Visitors Bureau.

A lot has happened in the city of Bowling Green this year; everyone hosted a lot of new events, we welcomed new businesses to the community and both the Black Swamp Arts Festival and the city of Bowling Green were given "Best of" awards by Ohio Magazine!

We ended 2017 on a very high note and with Winterfest around the corner we look to keep the note very high and continue to show why BG was awarded Best Hometown. So from everyone here at the CVB, we hope you have a happy new year and we'll see you in 2018!
