County 4-H council hosts rabies clinic
The Montague County 4-H youth council is hosting a rabies clinic from 9 to 11 a.m. on Oct. 5 at Bowie Tractor Supply Company.
Staff from county veterinarian clinics from Bowie and Nocona will be there to give your dog a rabies shot along with the tag. A tent will be set up out front, so be on the lookout for this event. There will be a discounted rate of $14/dog. Dogs must be on a leash.
October also begins the sale of Paper 4-H Clovers for $1/clover. Tractor Supply proudly began their partnership with 4-H in 2010 and have helped raise more than $20 million through these Paper Clover fundraisers. The success of these campaigns has impacted over 80,000 students by providing them with hands-on learning experiences through projects in STEM, agriculture, healthy living, and civic engagement.
All of the funds raised through the two Paper Clover fundraisers directly benefit 4-H and member youngsters work with – 90% of donations directly support 4-H youth in the state it was raised, and the remaining 10% supports national 4-H programming.
Montague 4-H youth participate in this community service to help them understand that working with the public is key to a successful and well-rounded 4-H career. For more information about the Montague County 4-H program call the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension office at 940-894-2831.

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.
