Bowling Green Convention and Visitors Bureau is sponsoring its sixth "Be a Tourist in your Own Town" Saturday and Sunday. The event encourages community members and invites visitors to experience all of the attractions, parks, restaurants and retail that Bowling Green area has to offer. This year's event is taking place over Bowling Green State University's Falcon Family Weekend, offering guests a wide range of activities in which to participate. Many of the participating venues are offering a free or reduced entry fee, others have special offers, refreshments, entertainment and door prizes. Each venue sets its own hours and develops its own promotions. A tourist guide will be published in Wednesday's Sentinel-Tribune. There are 36 venues around Bowling Green and another 10 activities and events at BGSU. A self-paced scavenger hunt downtown could net $50 in Downtown Dollars Gift Certificates.
