Deck out a flamingo for 30th Art Walk

"Ringo Flamingo" created by Ginger Barson, Vicki Knauerhase, and Lynn Whitmer.

From DOWNTOWN BOWLING GREEN

The 30th Annual Art Walk will take place throughout historic Downtown Bowling Green on Saturday, May 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., followed by a reception at the Wood County District Public Library starting at 3 p.m.  This free event welcomes everyone to come experience the work of many local artists and participate in this year’s flamingo raffle.  

Anyone can stop by our Downtown Bowling Green’s Special Improvement Office at 217 S. Church St. located in the Four Corners Center to pick up their very own flamingo for $15 (cash or checks can be written out to The Downtown Foundation, Inc.). After you pick up your flamingo, you can decorate it and return it to our office before 5 p.m. on April 29 so we can have them ready to be showcased at The Wood County District Public Library during Art Walk.  When you bring the flamingo back, you will be entered in a drawing to win $50 in Downtown Dollars!  The number of flamingos available is limited so please do not miss your chance to participate. Anyone that purchased a flamingo in 2020 is welcome to decorate it and bring to the Downtown BG office by 5 pm on April 29th. 

Please be sure the flamingo is attached to a base so that it can stand on its own. Also, please attach your name, phone number, and address to your flamingo.

All proceeds of the raffle will go toward the Downtown Foundation’s Flower Fund that is used to purchase and maintain the beautiful blooms that fill our historic downtown.  

For a chance to win a flamingo you must purchase raffle tickets during Art Walk at The Wood County District Public Library on May 14.  Raffle tickets cost $1 each or 6 tickets for $5!  The Flamingo Show will take place at The Wood County District Public Library (251 N. Main Street).  The flamingo raffle will be held after 3 p.m. during the Art Walk Reception.  

We look forward to having a great turn out!  Please continue to check our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/DowntownBGOhio) or our webpage (www.downtownbgohio.org/art-walk) to keep up with the latest news and updates.
