COUNTY LIFE
Summer outdoor movie season wraps Friday
The summer is winding down as Downtown Outdoor Movie Night wraps up on Aug. 7 with “Jumanji.”
The Bowie Community Development Board agreed this movie was a good depiction of how the year 2020 is going. The public is invited to come out at dark to the parking lot at Mason and Tarrant Streets to this free celebration under the stars.
Concessions will be available with popcorn, hot dogs, snow cones and candy. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets.
The Friday night film is an American fantasy comedy adventure film based on a children’s book. The story centers on a supernatural board game that releases jungle-based hazards upon its players with every turn they take.
Fan favorites such as Robin Williams, Kirsten Dunst, and Bonnie Hunt play the main roles. This family-friendly flick is a PG-rated delight.
BCDB officials extend appreciation to Bowie Volunteer Fire Department, Bowie Volunteer Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary, Piston Heads Auto Club and Bowie Chamber of Commerce for their help at all the Outdoor Movie Nights.
Funds collected will help provide beautification and restoration to the city.
Hey kids, it’s time to get your letters ready for Santa Claus!
The Bowie News invites families to submit their letters to Santa for publication in the Dec. 21 edition. Forms are available on our Facebook page and at bowienewsonline.com.
Print out a form and drop it off in Santa’s mailbox at the News office, 200 Walnut Street or in one of the school Santa boxes across the county.
Deadline to send in a letter is Dec. 4. While this may seem early there are hundreds of letters to type and then they have to ship off to the North Pole for the Big Guy to read.

A new mayor and two returning aldermen took the oath of office on Nov. 13 for the Saint Jo City Council.
The three races were uncontested during the recent election. Kelly Williamson will take over as mayor, as Colton Thomas and Melissa McPherson continue in their places. Thomas was elected to be mayor pro tem.
Aldermen took care of numerous organizational tasks related to its economic development boards and the council. Former Mayor Shawn Anderson and Hennessey were removed from city-related accounts, with the new mayor and mayor pro tem and McPherson were added to the city accounts.
