Jim Bowie Days activities draw big crowds
While heavy rains caused disruption with the opening days of Jim Bowie Days 2020, the remainder of the week followed tradition as hot and humid, but it didn’t dampen the fun.
As the rodeo entered its final night, 2019 Miss Jim Bowie Days relinquished her crown to Chloe O’Neal the 2020 queen from Keller. Brooke Smith, 2019 Little Miss, handed her crown off to Rylie LaMar of Joy.
O’Neal is the 18-year-old daughter of Colin O’Neal and a sophomore at Blinn College. LaMar is the 13-year-old daughter of Chad and Kellie LaMar and an eighth grader at Henrietta.
