Minutes ago, a special press conference was held announcing a $500,000 donation towards the Museum’s building campaign, presented on behalf of the Bowling Green Area Convention and Visitors Bureau. “We want to keep this project moving and hope this donation will be a positive support towards reaching the $6 million goal for the expansion,” stated Gary West, Director of Tourism for the BG Area CVB. “We work closely with the Museum staff and tourism in the state and appreciate the thousands of visitors the Museum brings to the city of Bowling Green each year.” Additional information and photos will be made available in the next issue of the Museum’s member magazine - America’s Sports Car Magazine.
