Win a Christmas ham, find presents in your Bowie News
Santa has lost some presents and needs your help. Search for the presents in your Bowie News and if you find them all you will be entered into a drawing to win a holiday ham.
Bring your circled News pages in to the office at 200 Walnut Street before Dec. 20. Your name will go into the drawing.
The News also has several holiday early deadlines. Items for the Dec. 21 and Dec. 25 editions must be in to the office by 5 p.m. on Dec. 19.
Items for the Dec. 28 and Jan. 1 editions must be in by 5 p.m. on Dec. 26.
And there is still plenty of time to pick up that holiday stocking stuffer of a Bowie News gift subscription. Print or digital it is the gift that is enjoyed all year long. Gift certificate provided to place in a card or stocking. Call 872-2247 for details.
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.
