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 Nocona City Council approved a trio of Nocona Economic Development Corporation requests and considered infrastructure work questioned by a city council.
Councilors met on June 10. Two of the NEDC requests had already been presented with the timeclock for comment started. With that time limit over, the requests were finalized.
The Type A and B Boards will spend $19,225 at the Indian Oaks Golf Club for equipment, aerifying and top dressing the greens and batteries for rental carts. It also will expend $20,000 to the Nocona Chisholm Trail Rodeo Arena Committee to build new concrete bleachers, railings, fence and platform.
The third NEDC request is a new one related to a Type B board loan of $200,000 to Amy and Chris Nunneley for a new apartment and office construction project.
