Paint your world purple at Relay for Life
“Paint Your World Purple” is the theme for this year’s Montague County Relay for Life in Nocona.
The relay will be from 6 to midnight on May 10 at the Nocona High School Track.
Organizers are seeking cancer survivors and caregivers to take part in the opening laps of the relay, along with the annual survivors/caregivers dinner on May 4 in the Montague County Courthouse Annex. The dinner will be 6 to 7:30 p.m.
Those who would like to attend or participate can call Sandy Owens, 894-7999 and Sheri Reeves, 940-443-0008, committee chairs.
Deadline to register is April 1. Both survivors and caregivers will receive a complimentary T-shirt, which can be picked up at the dinner and then worn at the relay.
Relay for Life is a unique community event that allows individuals from all walks of life to join in the fight against cancer. Community members raise funds for their team which go to support cancer patient services and other needs, as well as research.
The relay committee is selling luminaria bags in honor of cancer survivors who are battling or have battled and in memory of those who lost their battle but remain in the hearts of their loved ones.
Order online for $10 at www.relayforlife.org/montaguecotx, or buy locally and at the relay for $5.

Yard of the Month nomination deadline April 26
Spring has sprung and it is time to nominate top yards from your neighborhood to be considered for The Bowie News Yard of the Month.
The first award will be made for April and nominations may be submitted through April 26. The winner will be announced in the May 1 edition of The Bowie News.
Call the Bowie News office at 940-872-2247 or email it to [email protected]. Please include the address and name of the resident if you know it or a contact phone number for the nominee.
Sponsored by The Bowie News and Beautify Our Bowie, the contest winner gets to show off the brightly colored Yard of the Month sign in their yard during the month. A winner will be named for April, May and June.
The names of nominees may be submitted more than once throughout the contest if they are not a winner. Winners from last season will not be considered to allow for others to have an opportunity to participate.
A group of experienced gardeners volunteer their time to visit all the nominees and select a winner.
This contest will recognize a beautiful yard which is not necessarily the most fancy or elaborate, but one that shows care and upkeep in their neighborhood. The goal is to encourage all Bowie residents to keep their properties clean and looking nice for everyone to enjoy.
Criteria for judging will include ongoing maintenance of the yard and landscaping. The yard needs to be clean and free of trash, junk or other unsightly objects. Grass and shrubs need to maintained at reasonable levels.
Landscaping also will be considered, but are encouraged to include not only annuals for the season, but permanent items such as shrubs, vines or hardscape, as well as decorative structures like a gazebo or benches
