Bowie going green for St. Patrick’s Sip & Stroll
By Cindy Roller,
Bowie Community Development
With the time change let’s welcome the second annual St. Patty’s Sip & Stroll With Me on March 15 in downtown Bowie. Back by popular demand this quarterly event helps guests see what is new and true to our community. It will be an enjoyable time to dress in green and stroll for springs sales and activities.
With the warming temperatures the participating locations are preparing for the “mini-open house” event again starting at 5 p.m. on March 15 along with added the fun of pop-up vendors. Carriage rides given by the Stark family will be available to enjoy the historic brick streets and evening activities. Sip guests are encouraged to bring their Sip glasses or purchase a new one along with armbands at any participating location involved in the Sip & Stroll for just $15. Funds raised help with beautification projects and promotions.

Speed limit changes are being put in place on FM 103 North of Nocona. The 60-mph zone is being pushed North of Grayson Street.
As part of the transition, the 45-mph speed limit will be extended just North of the Texas New Mexico Power Office. Drivers see 50 mph signs up to Grayson Street where it becomes a 60-mph zone.
Portable message boards were placed on FM 103 on May 27 to advise motorists of the upcoming changes. The new signs will be unveiled and be enforceable starting June 3.
Citizens and officials with the City of Nocona requested the changes. They were approved by the Texas Transportation Commission in April.
Drivers should be prepared to watch and observe these new speed limits signs in Nocona. Drive safely in Montague County.
