Bowyer on reality show
Emporia native and NASCAR driver Clint Bowyer will appear on the NBC show “The Biggest Loser” on Tuesday following President Obama’s speech.
A news release said “The Biggest Loser” challenges overweight contestants to take control of their lives by taking control of their weight through comprehensive diet and exercise.
“Being involved with ‘The Biggest Loser’ was a real eye-opener,” said Bowyer, who is the first NASCAR driver to appear on the show. “The show is all about winning. It was amazing to see how hard everyone works and the sacrifices they make.”
Decision is near
Members of the board of directors for Emporia Main Street were meeting this morning to select a new executive director.
The new director will replace Kayla Oney, who left March 6 to become director for marketing and events at the Colombian Theatre in Wamego.
An interview team earlier this month conducted interviews with applicants for the job, and made a hiring recommendation to the board.
Board president Deb Huth said she expects a formal job offer will be tendered by late this morning.
