Bowie begins to sparkle for Christmas season

The Bowie Community Development Board and a bevy of volunteers decorated downtown Bowie’s lamp posts Saturday morning getting ready to kick off the Christmas season on Dec. 1. After a brief talk about Hanging of the Greens, the volunteers took tubs of supplies outside for a demonstration on how they are hung before heading downtown to hang wreaths and garland on the lamp posts. It is all a prelude to the Dec. 1 Fantasy of Lights Christmas Festival activities. (Photo by Barbara Green)
