In many ways the year 2022 was very similar to 2021 with many of the same topics making the top news.
COVID was still making people sick early on in the year with record high case numbers coming in January including one new fatality.
Mother Nature also reared her head in the Bowie area in March as an EF-1 tornado spun across the county and there was another big cold snap in February and late December. Drought conditions also kept the county under a burn ban for many months as firefighters battled large grass fires across North Texas.
While some things remained an obstacle, life did look more normal as award banquets were able to gather in person once more and festivals came back to life after the pandemic put a damper or in some cases canceled them all together. The Bowie News takes a look back at what made the news in 2022.
In your weekend Bowie News look back at the top news stories of 2022, as we prepare to celebrate the start of 2023.
The cast and crew of Gold-Burg High School’s state-bound one-act play “Interview,” will present a public show at 4 p.m. on May 5 in the Bowie Junior High Auditorium.
Admission is $5 and there will be a bake sale to raise funds for travel and other OAP expenses. The show is directed by Linda Fitzner.
The group will travel to Austin to perform on May 13 for the state title. This is the school’s first time to take a play to the state contest.

Voters in Bowie and Forestburg Independent School Districts will have their say Saturday as both entities offer up bond issues to improve infrastructure.
Early voting came to an end on Tuesday with a total of 1,230 people casting their ballots.
On election day the polls will be open 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. at three locations: Bowie Senior Citizens Center, Forestburg ISD Library and Sunset City Hall. Voters can cast their ballots at any of these locations due to countywide voting.
Read more about both bond proposals in your weekend Bowie News.
