Community job fair April 22
North Central Texas College Bowie Campus will be the hub of job opportunities from 9 to 11 a.m. on April 22 with a Community Job Fair.
The event is hosted by North Central Texas College, Bowie Chamber of Commerce, Nocona Chamber of Commerce and Workforce Solutions of North Texas.
Those employers participating thus far are Solaris Hospice, RiverStar Casino, WL Plastics, Advanced Rehab and Healthcare, and Fastenal.
This event is free to the public. The NCTC-Bowie campus is located at 810 South Mill Street. More information on the campus can be found: Bowie Campus — North Central Texas College (nctc.edu).
“We are very excited to be working together on this job fair,” said Debbie Herriage, Bowie Chamber membership director. “We have so many members looking to hire. This is a great chance to not only show off our wonderful facilities at the NCTC Bowie Campus but to also network for our community, city, and county.”
At the job fair, there will be opportunities for employment seekers such as having resumes reviewed, application assistance and visits with local employers. This career and technical education and workforce product was funded by the U.S. Department of Education 2021-2022 Carl D. Perkins Grant awarded to North Central Texas College.
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.

The Nocona City Council met this past week making plans for budget and tax rate hearings.
Councilors received a brief update on the 2024-25 budget preparations. City Secretary Revell Hardison said the final proposal is almost complete and they now await the arrival of the no-new revenue tax rate that will be reviewed by the council after it is calculated by the tax collector.
The proposal includes a tax rate increase of about 3% similar to last year and there will be a small increase in water and sewer rates, but Hardison said the final crunch on those will come after the tax rate projections arrive.
