I went to gas up my car this morning and came back by the Bowie Knife and looked out at all the activities going on in my hometown. I saw kids playing soccer, Second Monday visitors shopping, and when I drove on through town to go home I saw all the revitalization in downtown. We may struggle when the oil boom ceases but whether you are a native Bowieite, a tourist or a World Champion Cowboy hunting a bargain at our renown Trade Days, this little city has True Grit!! We never give up and Mr. Second Monday is smiling down on his hometown today. Build a Better Bowie!!

Jan Brashear Browning, Bowie

Editor’s Note: Mrs. Browning is referring to her grandfather Marvin Brashear when she speaks of “Mr. Second Monday.” He was one of the key figures in getting Second Monday expanded to its present location.

Levi Davis captured this funnel cloud from his home in the Fruitland and Hwy 101 area last night. A scary night across the county with tornados, flooding, hail and road closures. Thank you to all the emergency personnel who braved the dangerous weather to help people.

Do you think a stone you picked up could be an Indian artifact?
Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum will host “What’s Your Point,” an informational event from 1-3 p.m. on March 9 to have your items reviewed by Dr. Sergio Ayala, PhD of the Gault School of Archeological Research. Cost is $10 per person and museum members are free.
Also bring in any metal artifacts found around Spanish Fort that might have been of European origin. Museum Curator Nellann McBroom said if you cannot attend bring you artifacts and leave them, then pick them up on Monday. Call the museum at 825-5330 with questions.
