Tourism staff from the Texas Lakes Trail made their annual Travel Information Center Blitz Monday and their travels include a quick stop in Bowie to the World’s Largest Bowie Knife. Mayor Gaylynn Burris welcomed the group and Bowie Community Development’s Cindy Roller was taking part in the trek that began in Grapevine at 8 a.m. The bus then went to the TIC in Wichita Falls, followed by lunch on the road before a visit to the TIC in Gainesville and then the TIC in Denison before returning to Grapevine. Despite the dreary weather, the travelers said they were excited to see the knife that tourism and people in the industry talk about.
