Party for the Parks fundraiser set for Sept. 23

Veterans Building in City Park

The Bowling Green Parks & Recreation Foundation will hold its annual Party for the Parks fundraiser, formerly the Wine and Cheese Social and Auction, on Sept. 23, from 5-8 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Building in City Park.

The Bowling Green Parks and Recreation Foundation exists to support the programs and activities of the Parks and Recreation Department in Bowling Green. This year the proceeds from the event will, in part, benefit the creation of outdoor pickleball courts.

This year’s event will feature catering by SamB’s, craft beers from four Bowling Green microbreweries, and wines from Norm Heineman. There will be a raffle for a Becky McOmber handcrafted purse, a Solo Stove firepit, and a silent auction featuring “The Best of BG” items. There will be a presentation of the annual Spirit of the Foundation Award given to a person or entity who goes above and beyond to support the great BG Parks & Recreation Department.

Tickets are $75 per person before Sept. 9 and $85 after. For ticket information, call the Parks and Recreation business office at 419-354-6297 or email infoBGparksfoundation@gmail.com.
