Your kids are out of school today...now what?!? Snow days are a double-edged sword, right? It's great that you don't have to get out in the elements, but now you have to entertain them for the entire day, ha! Well, if you're in the Owensboro area, The Edge Ice Center is having a special session today only!
This may be one of the coolest events you will ever have a chance to be a part of. The Dalai Lama is coming to the KFC Yum Center in Louisville and tickets go on sale today! And we have all the details about this incredible interfaith forum here at WBKR.com!
I have said it multiple times before . . . jumping into a freezing-cold lake is the single WORST idea in history and the single-worst way to raise money for a charity. LOL! But, you know what! We're doing it anyway and we are going to have a blast. :)
Here at WBKR, we are very excited about Lincoln Amphitheatre's 2013 schedule.

I have been trying to get her to take the plunge for years! And now, finally, Kizzy has agreed to help WBKR raise money for Special Olympics Kentucky by taking the 2013 Polar Bear Plunge! It's Saturday, February 9th at The Hines Center in Philpot and, as Kizzy explains, it's going to be COLD!! Listen . . .
Saturday is an exciting day for a local restaurant. Salsaritas, Hwy 54's "fresh cantina" is celebrating its 5th anniversary here in Owensboro-Daviess County!
Six local non-profit organizations are coming together in celebration of March being Disability Awareness Month with an awesome event here in Owensboro.

The Owensboro Convention Center invites to the the ceremonial "Topping Out" celebration. City, county and Industrial Development (IDA) officials along with General Contractor Denark Construction, Trahan Architects and operator, Global Spectrum, are planning for the ceremony over a two-day schedule; January 10th and 11th.
Owensboro’s ceremony is adding a unique twist to the traditional ceremony by allowing the public to participate. The two-day schedule creates the opportunity to allow the general public to participate on Thursday, January 10th as they will be invited to sign the beam for a small contribution to the United Way of the Ohio Valley.
