Fantasy of Lights Parade names grand marshals

Published

on

This year has been a challenge for the Bowie community from dealing with COVID-19 regulations and safety precautions to recovering from an EF-1 tornado.
The Bowie Community Development Board voted to honor two hard working volunteers, Kirk and Diana Higgins, naming them grand marshals for the Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade on Dec. 5.
The couple served their community by providing weather warnings and other safety during not only the tornado, but during other emergency events through the Montague County Emergency Communications Team.
They have worked quietly behind the scenes as many in our community do to keep our corner of the world turning. However, they were crucial in the warning and recovery efforts performed by the Montague County Emergency Communications Team and City of Bowie Emergency Operations Center during the EF-1 tornado disaster.

The Snowman Sip & Stroll with Me will be on Dec. 4 with festival activities including the Fantasy of Lights Christmas Parade on Dec. 5.

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.
