BOWLING GREEN, Ky. –September 17, 2013—Downtown Bowling Green will be hopping with hot rods on Thursday afternoon and evening as the Freedom Road Rally rolls into town. The rally has provided participants with weeklong classic car vacation experiences across the country since 2004 and this is the event’s first visit to Bowling Green. This Freedom Road Rally event, part of a weeklong tour of Western Kentucky and Tennessee running September 15-20, is scheduled to make a pit stop on Thursday, Sept. 19 at Circus Square Park, the Standard Oil Station and SKyPAC.
