This popular benefit dinner and concert takes place from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on July 30 in the Bowie Community Center. July Jam is a casual evening featuring a chicken tender dinner, accompanied by Texas Fiddlin’ music from outstanding area performers. There will also be an old-fashioned bake sale and a silent auction.
Tickets for July Jam are $10 per person. All proceeds from the evening benefit Bowie’s Chicken and Bread Days Fiddler’s Contest, which takes place annually on the first Saturday in October. This year the festival will be on Oct. 1.
Tickets can be purchased at the Main Street Bowie office, 201-A Walnut.
