Downtown Bowie gearing up for Harvest Sip & Stroll, followed by C&B
More fun is on the horizon for downtown Bowie with the changing of the seasons as the staff and volunteer of Bowie Community Development bring more activities starting with Harvest Sip & Stroll on Oct. 4, the night before Chicken and Bread Days.
Harvest Sip & Stroll With Me welcomes more than 20 participating merchants that will join fiddlers, horse-drawn carriage rides and a cool fall harvest photobooth for strollers to enjoy.
It is just $15 for Sip armband which includes a commemorative souvenir Sip glass. Previous strollers are encouraged to bring their past Sip glass as supplies are limited. See what is new and true to downtown Bowie along with many other popup shops. All proceeds go to the beautification projects for City of Bowie Community Development.
Cindy Roller, BCD director, invites strollers to find those perfect treasures: Jewelry, refreshments, apparel, shoes, fun hat bars, leather works, antiques, 3D printing and electronics, local beef and much more. Dine in Bowie while enjoying this fun event.

The staff of Wise Hope Shelter and Crisis Center Montague County will present a candlelight vigil for Domestic Violence Awareness Month at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 8 in the Legend Bank courtyard. The public is invited to attend.
Hymns for the Hungry is an event led by Bowie First Methodist Church to benefit God’s Table, a food ministry program led by First Freewill Baptist of Bowie to feed hungry families six nights a week.
This event allows surrounding churches to share their gift of music to benefit God’s Table. This year’s Hymns for the Hungry will be 5:30 to 8 p.m. Oct. 27 at the Bowie Community Center.
Admission fee is $1. Last year, this event raised $8,000 and it is vital revenue to support God’s Table which is manned primarily by volunteers.
Six churches will be represented at this event and your presence is required. “Meal deals” of a hot dog, chips, and drink or “walking tacos” and drink will be served for $5. Dessert is by donation. Cakes will be auctioned intermittently throughout the event, and anyone is welcome to bring one to donate. Drawings for gift cards to local establishments will also take place. All proceeds will go directly to God’s Table, which is now feeding approximately 150 people each night.
For more information, please call or text Jarae Scruggs @ 940-841-1212, or you may also call the BFMC office directly at 940-872-3384.
