‘Spring Clink’ Sip and Stroll this Friday

Bowie Community Development is opening the new season with the Spring Clink Sip and Stroll from 6 to 9 p.m. on May 3 in downtown.
Everyone is invited to participate in this unique event.
Look for promotional signs in front of each location. The library will even be offering a fun wine glass charm craft to accompany their sparkling pink lemonade and pretzels.
The evening includes an Art Walk and entertainment in the 100 block of North Smythe Street.
Shoppers will be able to stroll to the various businesses and purchase an armband and/or souvenir glass at any participating retail store for $10.
Participants also may choose to use their Sip and Stroll with Me glass from a previous event. This is a great way to visit the local shops that might usually be closed and to see what is new to Bowie. Read the full story with the list of participating merchants in your mid-week Bowie News.
