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.

Lake Amon G. Carter has now (Thursday, Nov. 14) re-opened for boating. Selma Parkremains closed due to electric problems caused by high water. Water levels remain above normal and boaters should be cautious of possible debris.
The lake was closed on Nov. 8 after heavy rainfall and a rising lake level. It is considered full at 920 mean sea level and through the weekend it was topped more than 922 msl.
Bowie High School staff and students welcomed veterans for their annual tribute and breakfast on Veterans Day. Members of the FFA, Kyle Keeler and Rylan Cole folded the American flag as each fold was explained during the ceremony.
