A new Sip & Stroll With Me arrives March 17 with a Saint Patrick’s Day theme in downtown Bowie.
This new addition to the Bowie Community Development spring calendar was created at the request of merchants who asked for an activity in the first quarter of the year reported Cindy Roller, executive director. This Friday also will be the first time for several new firms in downtown Bowie to welcome Sip & Stroll through their doors.
The evening begins at 5 p.m. and runs until 8 p.m. on March 17. Sipping guests are encouraged to bring their Sip glasses or purchase a new one along with armbands at any participating location for just $10. Proceeds help with beatification projects and promotions.
Roller said with 25 participating merchants there should be a wide variety of shopping for everything from local beef and wellness to quilting and recording music.

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.
