Outdoor movie series coming in August
Main Street Bowie is planning an Outdoor Downtown Movie Night Series for the first three Fridays in August.
Movies will be shown Aug. 5, 12 and 19. Movies will begin by 8:30 p.m. on East Tarrant Street, in front of the City Auditorium.
The first film of the summer series will be the animated hit “Kung Fu Panda III.”
Be sure to bring your own seating but allow Main Street and the Bowie Rural Volunteer Fire Department to supply the snacks.
Main Street will be selling drinks and candy for those with a sweet tooth.
The Bowie Volunteer Rural Fire Department has offered to provide and cook hot dogs and popcorn, and donate all of the proceeds back to the Main Street Program. The volunteers will bring one of their trucks out for the children to enjoy.
Local libraries wrap up their children’s summer reading programs this week.
The Bowie Public Library brings the popular Creature Teacher with all their spectacular animals for the final event on July 23 at the Bowie Community Center.
The program begins at 10 am. The children also will receive their prize books for their summer logs.
The Nocona Public Library ends its program at 10 a.m. on July 24 at the H.J. Justin Building at 100 Clay Street. The program will be “Our Own Action Heroes -” Nocona fire, police and EMTs.
