Fantasy of Lights offers fun for all of the family
Santa Claus comes to Bowie this Saturday night during the 2019 Fantasy of Lights Christmas Festival.
This year’s lighted parade, set for Dec. 7, continues the 28-year-old tradition of one of the largest lighted holiday parades in North Texas.
Festival weekend opens on Dec. 6 with the popular Sip and Stroll With Me. Shoppers are invited to enjoy refreshments while checking out the many specials offered by the merchants.
Purchase armbands and glasses at any of the merchants for $10. Strollers may use a previous glass, but must have an armband. Get your arm bands early at the Bowie Economic Development Corporation building at the host location at 101 E. Pecan from 4:30 to 6 p.m.

The regular meeting of the Bowie City Council for July 22 has been cancelled. City Manager Bert Cunningham and Mayor Gaylynn Burris will be attending the Texas Public Power Association conference.
City of Bowie officials were on hand to inspect the emergency electrical generators that were delivered last week.
Mayor Gaylynn Burris and City Manager Bert Cunningham inspected one of three emergency electrical generators purchased as part of an ongoing Federal Emergency Management Agency Hazard Mitigation Grant. They also talked with Jay Evans, head of the city electric department, and Jerry Sutton, director of the water treatment plant about the next step for installation of the generators.
This grant provides funding for one 150 kW and two 250 kW generators for use at the water treatment plant.
