Fantasy of Lights gearing up for big event
Christmas comes to Bowie next week as the Fantasy of Lights Christmas Festival welcomes the season with one of the area’s biggest and longest running lighted Christmas parades on Dec. 1.
After last week’s Hanging of the Greens the community has begun to sparkle for the holiday season. The Bowie Community Development Board (formerly Main Street Bowie) presents a variety of activities across two days to celebrate the season. This will be the 27th year for the Christmas parade.
Activities begin on Nov. 30 with the Sip & Stroll from 5-9 p.m. Participating merchants will have the Sip & Stroll glasses and armbands for sale at $10. Guests can use a previously purchased Sip & Stroll glass, but they must present an armband to receive the wine samplings and snacks.
Bright and early Saturday morning Breakfast with Santa will take place from 8 to 11 a.m. at the Bowie Community Center. Presented by the City of Bowie Fire Department there will be free photos with Santa and pancakes will be served.

The jury was seated on Monday and the opening day of testimony Tuesday only lasted four hours, before the panel went into deliberations about 2 p.m.
Two hours later the jury returned a guilty verdict on both charges. Wednesday morning the jury was set to begin discussion on Hall’s punishment at 8:30 a.m. with both sides offering evidence and testimony. Hall faces up to 10 years in prison.
The trial was moved to Denton County on a change of venue requested by Hall in March. After 16th District Judge Sherry Shipman read the verdict, it was reported Hall hung her head in disappointment and was later seen crying and emotional as she left the courtroom.
Members of the Bowie City Council will meet in regular session at 6 p.m. on May 13 in council chambers.
The meeting opens with a proclamation for Emergency Medical Services Week.
City Manager Bert Cunningham will report on recent rainfall problems, Smythe Street sidewalk project and the substation work.
There is only one item of new business an ordinance related to speed limits on specific streets. Public comments and approval of minutes wrap up the agenda.
