Nocona, Saint Jo ready to sparkle this July 4th

Two Montague County communities are planning sparkling activities to celebrate July 4th this Saturday.

Lake Nocona

Following a three-year drought of fireworks at Lake Nocona, the Lions Club will light up the skies this July 4th holiday.

The once-annual event was cancelled due to the low lake levels at Lake Nocona. This year with the lake filled up from spring rains, there will be fireworks and the traditional boat parade.

Phil Staley, member of the Lions Club, said the group is excited to return this fun event to Lake Nocona.

“It has been three years and something always stopped it, burn ban or drought. It will be the biggest one ever,” said Staley.

The chamber also is coordinating a boat parade for earlier in the evening.

The big take-away from Tuesday’s Bowie Business Boost was time: “It only takes six seconds to make an impression in life.”
Lorie Vincent, certified economic developer, professional trainer and writer, was speaker for program number three of Bowie Boost with a focus on “Memorable Marketing in a Post-Pandemic Era.”
She opened about how she had started her business, ‘Acceleration by Design,’ and things were “rocking,” when 2020 came and things changed with the worldwide pandemic. As things began to reopen it appeared there were more opportunities but also more challenges.
Vincent laughed as she showed a Richard Simmons “Sweating to the Oldies,” infomercial that became one of the most popular and still running ads.
“Can you believe back then we would call a 1-800 number and give someone our credit card? That is crazy. They used big music, big voices and big adjectives,” exclaimed Vincent.
