WHAT IS GREAT ABOUT OWENSBORO
by Madison Simmons, 3rd grade What’s great about Owensboro is there’s lots of nice people, schools, shops and markets and more. There are lots of fun activities here like Elite Air, Owensboro Gymnast, The Edge (which is an ice skating place that I personally love). Also there is the Blue Bridge that leads to the best movie theatre ever — the RiverPark Center. There are lots of great schools like Highland Elementary or Meadow Lands and probably more schools. And Owensboro has lots of cute pets. There are dogs, cats, fish and hundreds more. You can make a lot of friends too in Owensboro and that’s why I love my Kentucky home.

IF I WAS MAYOR OF OWENSBORO FOR A DAY... I would get a monkey that could juggle 50 balls while eating tacos. And an elephant that could sing. Also a bunny that could hop to Neptune and an alligator that could fly while eating 1,000 crispitos. And that night in New York, I would have a big show! - Ella Nonweiler, 2nd grade
