From his work to help attract new businesses, to helping expand existing companies, to his support of the downtown redevelopment in Bowling Green, he is committed to making Bowling Green and Warren County an even better place to live and raise a family," said Chamber Board of Directors Chairman D. Gaines Penn.
Roast speakers will include Warren County Attorney Amy Milliken, Warren County Sheriff Jerry "Peanuts" Gaines, and Bill Leachman, president of Leachman Buick-GMC.
