Bowie community dinner changes to take-out, delivery
This year’s Bowie Community Thanksgiving Dinner presented through the First United Methodist Church has been changed to include only delivery and pick-up, cancelling dining room service.
It was announced the dinner will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Nov. 26 at the church, but only with delivery and pick-up to protect the health of the community.
Delivery orders will be taken through noon on Nov. 25. Call the church office at 872-3384 to place an order. Calls for meals for pickup will be helpful in planning.
There is no charge for the dinner, which is prepared by volunteers and church members, supported by the community and church.
First United Methodist Church is located at 1515 North Jefferson.
Enjoy a free comic book day mini-convention 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on May 4 at the Bowie Public Library in conjunction with Freakz & Geeks of Bowie.

Don’t miss out – come join the festivities and support your local Freaky Geeky community.

Officials with the Nocona Chamber of Commerce, Nocona VFW and LG Lemons Art Gallery are happy to announce the first ever poetry, prose, and tall tales event called “Rhymin’ at the Justin.”
The presentations are scheduled for 6 p.m. on April 26 at the H.J. Justin Community Room at 100 Clay in downtown Nocona. Area writers such as David Smith from Waxahachie and others from as far away as Cache and Duncan, OK, Decatur, and Wichita Falls who have a passion for “wordsmithing” will read or recite some of their original material.
The event is free to the public. Table seating will be available for all and you may bring your own dinner and drinks, if you wish. No glass bottles, please. Call or text Larry G Lemons at 940-366-5782, if you need more information.
This new event joins the popular musical jam welcoming area musicians the last Saturday of each month.
