COUNTY LIFE
Court to wrap up 2021 on Monday
The Montague County Commissioner’s Court will close out the year at 9 a.m. on Dec. 27.
Commissioners will consider an order to conform election precincts based on the recent redistricting action approved by the court. In November county officials made a small change moving a portion of precinct two residences at the northeastern edge of Bowie into precinct four. It impacts 228 people.
Other agenda items will include: Accept unanticipated revenue of $10,000 from the Stephen and Mary Birch Foundation to the sheriff’s office; 2022 party primary joint agreement for the Democratic and Republican elections next March; community acknowledgment form for a possible floodplain map revision for 1121 Casino Road; precinct four to go out for bids to buy a used roller and interlocal agreement for a multi-county adult sexual assault response team.
Due to high lake levels at Lake Amon G. Carter, the Jim Bowie Days Association organizers announced Friday the tournament has been postponed and a new date will be named soon.
Texas AgriLife Extension will host a July workshop on July 26, Preserving the Harvest, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the United Presbyterian Church of Montague County, 300 W. Nelson.
This four-part series will teach and review the food preservation processes including water bathing, pickling, dehydrating and pressure canning. This program will have both education and hands-on activities with take-home practice.
Seating is limited so call the extension office to register at 894-4831.
The 2025 Pioneer Court will be led by Joan Cantwell as the pioneer queen, with Duchesses Bill Ann Jones and Sue Swint.
A coronation of the court will be at 2:30 p.m. on June 27 at the Bowie Community Center. The public is invited to attend the crowning followed by a reception hosted by the Amity Club of Bowie.
Meet the ladies of the Pioneer Court in the Thursday Bowie News. Coming next week the young ladies competing for Miss Jim Bowie Days and Little Miss.
