Camp Cookie brings music, history to local schools
Little feet will be dancing along to a Texas history lesson when K.R. Wood, aka Camp Cookie, visits local schools on March 31.
Wood will visit Bowie Intermediate and Bowie Elementary to perform his award winning “Fathers of Texas History School Show.” The performance tells the story of the Texas Revolution and the cattle drives through song.
Wood’s songs bring history to life and encourage students to sing and dance along while learning. His website says the focus is to instill good values in our youth and teach them of the sacrifices that helped make Texas what it is today.
Elwyn Liggett of Wellington Bank said Van Baize, bank president, has known Wood for many years and has been rooting for him to visit local schools.
The performer is now cleared to perform in every town with a Wellington location and Bowie is the first stop on what is being deemed the “Chuck Wagon Tour.” Read more on this event in the full story located in the weekend News.
Due to high lake levels at Lake Amon G. Carter, the Jim Bowie Days Association organizers announced Friday the tournament has been postponed and a new date will be named soon.
Texas AgriLife Extension will host a July workshop on July 26, Preserving the Harvest, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the United Presbyterian Church of Montague County, 300 W. Nelson.

Seating is limited so call the extension office to register at 894-4831.
