Forestburg readies Christmas festival
The community of Forestburg will celebrate its Christmas festival on Dec. 9 with a variety of activities.
On Dec. 8 enjoy a Movie Under the Stars starting at 6:30 p.m. in the community center parking lot.
On Dec. 9 the chili cook-off opens the day running from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the center. From noon to 5 p.m. families can visit Santa’s Workshop at the center with a bake shop, kid’s corner, ornament decorating and more.
Throughout town there will be vendor and food trucks, a scavenger hunt, cookie decorating at LifeChurch 2:42, a candy cane maze at the log cabin and a corn hole tourney at the fire hall.
Have fun with Christmas bingo from 1-3 at the Methodist church followed by books with Mrs. Claus from 3 to 3:30 p.m. at the center.
From 3:30 to 5 p.m. there will be photos with Santa and a s’mores station at the center.
From 5-6 p.m. there will be a live nativity scene, followed by a lighted Christmas parade and a dance from 7-11 p.m. hosted by the fire department. Many of the activities and events are free.
Celebrate the 237th anniversary of America’s guiding document, the U.S. Constitution by attending a program from noon to 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 17 in the courthouse annex at Montague.
Sponsored by the Montague County Faith Hub, the program will feature a reading of the proclamation, a special speaker, reading of the constitution articles along with the presentation of colors.
The public is invited to attend.
The Montague County Courthouse will be undergoing electrical work on Sept. 26-27 and, therefore, will be without power.
The courthouse annex will have power and be open on those days. Please take note to avoid an unnecessary trip to courthouse.
Volunteers will be in downtown Bowie Sept. 17 and 18 for a clean-up and decorate event for upcoming fall activities.
Bowie Community Development will be coordinating this work in preparation for Chicken and Bread Days and other activities. Volunteers will gather at 4 p.m. on Sept. 17 and 8 p.m. on Sept. 18.
Those who want to clean up during the day are certainly welcome as Bowie gets ready for fall.
