COUNTY LIFE
World traveler makes stop in Bowie
By DANI BLACKBURN
Bowie saw a unique visitor on Wednesday in the form of Rosie Swale Pope, who pulled her bright red, 9-foot-long cart, filled with her possessions, behind her on her way through town.
The 69 -year -old Irish woman is traveling from New York to San Francisco and inspiring individuals everywhere in between.
She runs to raise awareness for charities and to spread inspiring messages about doing good and making a difference in other’s lives.
“My slogan for this run is lending my feet to the people we meet,” said Pope. “I love the freedom of running and making a difference. I believe the smallest thing can make the biggest difference.”

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.
