COUNTY LIFE
Fall craft bazaar Saturday
The Pumpkins to Snowflakes Craft Bazaar takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Oct. 12 at First United Methodist Church, 1515 N. Jefferson, Bowie.
The ladies of the Women’s Fellowship of the First United Methodist Church have worked hard all summer to create wonderful, unique handcrafted items for the holidays, as well as items to decorate and use year round. They will be joined by 18 other vendors to offer a variety of items from which to choose.
A chicken tetrazzini meal will be served from 11 a.m.- 2 p.m. Takeouts will be available. A bake sale will offer tempting treats and there will be drawings for door prizes during the day.
Proceeds from the Women’s Fellowship booth, the meal, bake sale and door prize drawings will benefit the Hazel Kunkel Memorial Scholarship Fund and the Children’s Church Camp Fund.
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.
