Frogs, turtles, mutton bustin’, Jim Bowie Days has fun for all
Bowie celebrated its western heritage in grand style this past week with the 2014 Jim Bowie Days.
There were some new activities and other old favorites enjoyed by large audiences. Kim Butler, association board president, said they are pleased with the feedback they have received on the changes.
“I think we have had good response and most people are pleased with it. They especially love the parade being in the morning away from the hot afternoon. Overall, there has been positive results with all the changes,” said Butler.

There is a new flower showing up at garden centers that is pure magic, in fact its official name is Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit. If you aren’t familiar with the name, it is a calibrachoa, a petunia relative. Double gives reference to flowers that in this case look like miniature roses.
Magic is your key descriptor telling you that the flower changes colors. The flowers start off a pleasant lemon yellow and then age to a rose pink.
Of course, to get to rose pink you have various shades along the way. Another magical aspect to me, the guru of captivating combinations is that it seems no matter the color you choose it will go with Superbells Magic Double Grapefruit calibrachoa.
