Chicken and Bread Days celebrates record-breaking 25th celebration

Published

on

The popular Chicken and Bread Days Fiddle Contest welcomed competitors of all ages. See winners in the mid-week Bowie News. Additional coverage coming in Saturday’s paper.
Guests for Friday night’s Scarecrow Sip & Stroll enjoyed horse-drawn carriage rides during the evening.
Lion Tracey Jennings was cooking burgers as fast as the grill could go Saturday.
Dancers perform during the festival.
Heroes of the Old West performed three shows on Saturday.

The beautiful fall weather and a huge crowd helped make the 25th Anniversary of the Chicken and Bread Days Heritage Festival the largest one ever with a record number of classic cars filling the streets, along with festival-goers.
Cindy Roller, executive director of the Bowie Community Development Board, laughed “the third time is a charm,” as she remarked on the tremendous success of the festival in her third year in the city.
“Of course with all that has gone on we had no idea what to expect in vendors or guests. The plan finally came together with a whole team working together,” said Roller on Monday as she began sorting and packing up festival gear.
In the midst of a pandemic, the festival organizers provided hand-washing and hand sanitizer stations throughout the downtown area. Roller added with it being outdoors people may have felt a bit more comfortable, but there were many with masks and people were able to social distance.
