Bowie Police plan National Night Out meet/greet
The City of Bowie Police Department takes part in National Night Out with a “Hot Dog Meet and Greet,” from 6-8 p.m. on Oct. 1 in the city customer service center parking lot at Tarrant and Mason.
Police Chief Guy Green invites the community to attend and meet many of their officers and enjoy a free hot dog.
“This will be very informal with some of our officers and staff available to visit with the public. If you have time we would love to have people stop by, grab a hot dog and visit a bit. We hope we can get to know more citizens and they can get to know us so we can all work together to make Bowie Better,” said Green.
National Night Out enhances the relationship between neighbors and law enforcement while bringing back a true sense of community. It provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together under positive circumstances. The state of Texas and select areas celebrate this event on the first Tuesday in October.
The Back to School Fair for Bowie Independent School District students will be 9 a.m. on July 20 in the high school cafeteria and gym.
The fair will feature free school supplies, haircuts and eye screening and vendors.
The 22nd annual July Jam returns on July 27 to the Bowie Community Center West Hall, 413 Pelham Street in Bowie.
There will be a “chickin’ pickin’ fiddling fun time” as guests will be entertained by amazing fiddling tunes and enjoying a chicken meal with delicious homemade jams because it wouldn’t be July Jam without it.
Tickets are just $15 with the event starting at 6 p.m. The funds raised help provide awards for the Championship Fiddler Competition during Chicken and Bread Days Heritage Festival on Oct. 5.
This attracts talented musicians from all over to visit downtown Bowie to test their fiddling skills on stage in the Bowie Fire Hall on Oct. 5.
Along with the live fiddling entertainment, come hungry and be ready to outbid your neighbors at the silent auction or just stop by for a great meal, fellowship and soak in the air conditioning.
