City of Bowie Volunteer Firefighters ready “30 guns in 30 minutes” event
The City of Bowie Volunteer Fire Department will have an open house at 5 p.m. on Sept. 8 at 203 Walnut.
The doors and trucks will be open to the public. Everyone is invited to stop by and meet with the career staff and volunteers, check out the fleet of fire trucks and enjoy a burger with all the fixings. Snow cones also will be available for the kids.
The fundraiser drawing for 30 guns in 30 minutes also will take place this evening. A $100 ticket gets you 30 chances to win a gun. Only 300 tickets will be sold and at last count 265 had been sold. Proceeds go to help upgrade the department pagers.
Joan Cantwell, 2025 Pioneer Queen, was crowned by the 2024 Queen Mildred McCraw during Friday afternoon Pioneer Court celebration. Along with Cantwell, Sue Swint and Bill Ann Jones will be duchesses. Watch for full cover of Jim Bowie Days in the July 3 Bowie News.
