Election filing still at a lull in Nocona, deadline Friday
The filing deadline is Friday for the three Nocona elections, but as of Monday the incumbents have filed for the school and hospital district races, with only two people filing for the city council race.
The City of Nocona, Nocona Independent School District and Nocona Hospital District all have elections scheduled for May 2. Filing for those races ends on Feb. 14.
For the Nocona City Council, Randy Duckworth, former member of the North Montague County Water District board, filed for city council. Ricky O’Neal filed on Monday.
There are three seats up for the ballot and they are presently filled by Bob Ferguson, Steve Tettleton and Ricky O’Neal.
In the NISD races, Trustees Jay Womack, placed seven and J.W. Patterson, place five, have filed to run.
In the hospital district incumbents Charles May, Cris Lemon and Ron Brown are running.
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.
