Kids Kake Off

In celebration of our 25th year of service to the community, we're having a great big birthday party! And what's a birthday party without tons and tons of cake? So to insure that our party has plenty of cake, we're opening a competition for all home bakers--it's the Kids Kake Off. Show off your skills to win a $100 gift card from IGA, a trophy, and publicity. Here are the requirements:
  • Home bakers ONLY (no professionals, please!)
  • No sheet cakes
  • minimum size of two tiers
Cakes will be judged on the following criteria:
  • Taste (of course) - 50%
  • Creativity/Presentation -25%
  • Texture - 25%
Cakes will be transported at 1:00 pm on November 19th to the school chosen for the birthday party. Judging begins at approximately 1:30. After winners are announced, students and guests will partake in the competition cakes for the party.

If you're interested, please download the registration flyer below and return to Kids on the Block by November 12 with your $15 registration fee. Call the Kids on the Block office at 842-2259 with any questions.

Good Luck!

On Saturday, October 2, the twilight sky spat tiny drops of protest and the wind's wicked hands disheveled ladies' hair. A roar ripped through the air and crept through the town of Bowling Green. As the thunder rolled deeper into the city, brave townsfolk emerged from their dinner tables to investigate the haunting howls. Alas, what these townies found were leather-clad heroes waving from atop their giant hogs--Harleys, that is. Thus signaling the 4th annual Twilight Thunder Cruise.

And what a chilly, yet great success the night was! More than 70 riders participated in this year's event. After the cruise down Scottsville Roads, riders were greeted by local rock band, Stone Road. Wha-Bah and the band kept the crowd celebrating through the evening. At the end of night, we raffled off a leather jacket donated by Harley (which I was a little sad to give up after keeping it warm for the majority of the evening), and the winner of the $5,000 raffle was announced. Overall, the event raised over $20,000 for Kids on the Block.

So thank you to all the sponsors, volunteers, staff, and riders who made this event a great night!
