1. Fayette Heating & Air opens nominations for 20th annual Gift of Heat giveaway

A long-running Lexington-based Gift of Heat program is expanding this winter to include a family from the Bowling Green area, offering a free, fully installed HVAC system to someone in real need. Residents in western Kentucky can submit nominations through December 14, with winners announced December 17 at the company’s Bowling Green location, giving local families a chance at safe, reliable heat.

2. Fierce competition inspires collecting blood for a great cause with 100 Miles of Hope

Bowling Green residents are being urged to roll up their sleeves for the 100 Miles of Hope blood drive, a rivalry-fueled competition between WKU and MTSU that dramatically boosts donations. Organizers say the three-day event can quadruple typical daily collections, helping ensure blood is available locally and nationwide when disasters strike, and anyone can schedule a time to donate and support Bowling Green’s effort. (wnky.com)    

3. Bowling Green police launch first Burmese community police academy

Bowling Green’s police department is launching its first Burmese Community Police Academy this month, offering four classes in both English and Myanmar to build trust and understanding. Residents can tour the department, learn how different units work, and still register through the department’s Facebook page, following the success of a recent Spanish-language academy. (wbko.com)    

4. Tomorrow's Wind: Here's Why It's Gusty

Bowling Green is in for noticeably gusty winds tomorrow as a strong cold front with a tight pressure gradient moves through the area. Meteorologists say the winds shouldn’t be hazardous, but they could nudge your car and toss around lightweight yard items, so it’s worth securing loose objects and keeping an eye on updated forecasts. (wbko.com)    

5. Drive the ncm track in bowling green ky

If you’ve ever wondered what your Corvette can really do, this firsthand account of driving the NCM Motorsports Park track in Bowling Green shows why locals should try a proper road course instead of pushing limits on public streets. The writer describes coaching from a pro driver, dramatic performance differences between sessions, and why the track’s challenging layout transforms how you see your car. (corvetteforum.com)
