NHS filmmakers take 1, 2 at state contest
By DANI BLACKBURN
Thirty years ago, the Nocona High School girl’s golf team brought home back-to-back state championships. Despite many trips to state since that time, no other Indian has brought home a title.
That all changed Feb. 28 when the victory lights on the water tower were lit up in honor of Nocona High School film students, who brought home first and second place for their two films at the Texas University Interscholastic League film contest.
Eighteen NHS students and three teachers traveled to Austin after their two traditional animation films were among the top six selected for the state finals. The group was ecstatic when they were called to the stage to receive the state runner-up award for the film “The Golem.”

The Back to School Fair for Bowie Independent School District students will be 9 a.m. on July 20 in the high school cafeteria and gym.
The fair will feature free school supplies, haircuts and eye screening and vendors.
The 22nd annual July Jam returns on July 27 to the Bowie Community Center West Hall, 413 Pelham Street in Bowie.
There will be a “chickin’ pickin’ fiddling fun time” as guests will be entertained by amazing fiddling tunes and enjoying a chicken meal with delicious homemade jams because it wouldn’t be July Jam without it.
Tickets are just $15 with the event starting at 6 p.m. The funds raised help provide awards for the Championship Fiddler Competition during Chicken and Bread Days Heritage Festival on Oct. 5.
This attracts talented musicians from all over to visit downtown Bowie to test their fiddling skills on stage in the Bowie Fire Hall on Oct. 5.
Along with the live fiddling entertainment, come hungry and be ready to outbid your neighbors at the silent auction or just stop by for a great meal, fellowship and soak in the air conditioning.
