Youth fair entries top 313; judging opens Thursday
Nearly 1,000 entries will be judged during this week’s 2020 Montague County Youth Fair on Jan. 9-11 at the Nocona Agriculture Center.
There will be 313 exhibitors from all the schools across the county representing 4-H, FFA and FCCLA during the three days. The public is invited to attend any of the judging events as the youngsters compete to win grand champion.
While judging in the show ring and the community center is exciting the premium sale is the fair highlight on Saturday night as the grand and reserve champions, along with the breed champions are shown. The sale begins at 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 11.
Pledge sheets for all the participants will be available. Area 4-H and FFA buying groups also will be on hand to help those who may want to make a pledge to a student or a block of students.
See the full schedule in the mid-week Bowie News and coverage of the show in your Bowie News.
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.
