The Bowling Green Kiwanis Club will meet Thursday at the Slater Family Ice Arena Lounge located on the campus of Bowling Green State University. The meeting and program are open to the public.
The meeting will commence at noon, with lunch available for $15 starting from 11:30 a.m. onwards. This week’s guest speaker is Lucy M. Long, director, Center for Food and Culture. Her topic of discussion is Apples in the Midwestern Imagination. Apples and the Midwest are both misunderstood and underappreciated, seen as wholesome, all-American, and not that exciting. Beneath the surface, though, each is full of complexities and contradictions. Long’s presentation will describe the central role apples play in Midwestern culture and how they reveal much more than meets the eye.
