COUNTY LIFE
Local groups collect items to refill food pantries
If you would like to help restock local food pantries that assist families in need there are several groups collecting non-perishable food items this holiday season.
The Montague County employees have boxes in the courthouse and courthouse annex to receive items. The Bowie VFW also is collecting food items. Food banks in the area always in need of donations so any support is appreciated to assist in any portion of the county.
Celebrate the 237th anniversary of America’s guiding document, the U.S. Constitution by attending a program from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 17 in the courthouse annex at Montague.
Sponsored by the Montague County Faith Hub, the program will feature a reading of the proclamation, a special speaker, reading of the constitution articles along with the presentation of colors.
The public is invited to attend.
The Montague County Courthouse will be undergoing electrical work on Sept. 26-27 and, therefore, will be without power.
The courthouse annex will have power and be open on those days. Please take note to avoid an unnecessary trip to courthouse.
Volunteers will be in downtown Bowie Sept. 17 and 18 for a clean-up and decorate event for upcoming fall activities.
Bowie Community Development will be coordinating this work in preparation for Chicken and Bread Days and other activities. Volunteers will gather at 4 p.m. on Sept. 17 and 8 p.m. on Sept. 18.
Those who want to clean up during the day are certainly welcome as Bowie gets ready for fall.
