Businessman, salesman, kitchen inspector, lover of comfortable lodgings, and connoisseur of good food - - this was the man Duncan Hines. This presentation explores the life and work of Duncan Hines from his days growing up in Warren County, Kentucky, through his career as a travel writer, and finally to his rise as a brand name in the world of packaged goods. Jonathan Jeffrey will present the research behind the Kentucky Museum’s exhibition as well as special artifacts held by the Museum and WKU Special Collections Library. Talk will be presented from 2pm to 2:45pm Museum will be open from 1pm to 4pm to view the Recommended by Duncan Hines and other exhibitions.
The City of Bowling Green and Warren County cordially invite y'all to a dual proclamation ceremony at the Stingray Grill at National Corvette Museum. All are welcome to join us on Monday, June 5, at 3:30pm, to officially declare June 5-11, 2023 as Duncan Hines Days. What a great way to kickoff our community's weeklong celebration! The National Corvette Museum and Stingray Grill are examples of a roadside attraction and one of a kind restaurant that Duncan Hines himself would surely have recommended in his travel and vacation planning guidebooks. The first true road tripper and food critic was a Bowling Green native, who grew his name into the most trusted and beloved household food and entertainment brand. The Stingray Grill is offering specials worthy of a recommendation by the man behind the mix himself!
Bowling Green Ballpark, tickets required. Duncan Hines Days baking item giveaways and special team jerseys will be worn on the nights of Friday, June 9 and Saturday, June 10.
