Shebang shows off new barn area this Saturday
Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum shows off its future agriculture barn building at this weekend’s Shebang fundraiser on Sept. 19.
Shebang will take place in the barn shell if weather permits at 6 p.m. on Saturday. The alternate location is the Veranda Inn Events Center. Shebang is the museum’s primary fundraiser for the year.
Guests are invited to enjoy a great meal, a live auction and the popular bucket auction. This year the theme is Leather celebrating the leather industry, past and present.
Tickets to Shebang are $50. Also purchase a ticket to win the 60 inch zero-turn Bad Boy Mower for $25. Read more on the event in the mid-week News.
This Bad Boy 60-inch zero-turn mower will be given away in a prize drawing at Shebang Saturday night. Get your ticket now for $25. Proceeds go toward the museum’s barn project.
The Back to School Fair for Bowie Independent School District students will be 9 a.m. on July 20 in the high school cafeteria and gym.
The fair will feature free school supplies, haircuts and eye screening and vendors.
The 22nd annual July Jam returns on July 27 to the Bowie Community Center West Hall, 413 Pelham Street in Bowie.
There will be a “chickin’ pickin’ fiddling fun time” as guests will be entertained by amazing fiddling tunes and enjoying a chicken meal with delicious homemade jams because it wouldn’t be July Jam without it.
Tickets are just $15 with the event starting at 6 p.m. The funds raised help provide awards for the Championship Fiddler Competition during Chicken and Bread Days Heritage Festival on Oct. 5.
This attracts talented musicians from all over to visit downtown Bowie to test their fiddling skills on stage in the Bowie Fire Hall on Oct. 5.
Along with the live fiddling entertainment, come hungry and be ready to outbid your neighbors at the silent auction or just stop by for a great meal, fellowship and soak in the air conditioning.
