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.

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.

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.
