Bowie Library opens Family Place programs
The Family Place Library program began this week at Bowie Public Library with activities planned throughout the month.
A Family Place Library is a center for early childhood information, parent education, emergent literacy, socialization and family support. It builds on the knowledge that good health, early learning, parental involvement and supportive communities play a critical role in young children’s growth and development.
Family Place play dates at the Bowie Library will be 10 to 11 a.m. on May 2, 9, 16, 23 and 30.
Play dates bring parents and care givers of children birth to three years of age together for an hour of play-based fun and learning. Each week a local professional will be on hand to answer questions or concerns on topics such as early literacy, food an nutrition, music and play, child development, speech, hearing and language.
This program is free and open to the public. Call the library at 872-2681 for additional information.
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.
This four-part series will teach and review the food preservation processes including water bathing, pickling, dehydrating and pressure canning. This program will have both education and hands-on activities with take-home practice.
Seating is limited so call the extension office to register at 894-4831.
The 2025 Pioneer Court will be led by Joan Cantwell as the pioneer queen, with Duchesses Bill Ann Jones and Sue Swint.
A coronation of the court will be at 2:30 p.m. on June 27 at the Bowie Community Center. The public is invited to attend the crowning followed by a reception hosted by the Amity Club of Bowie.
