Bowie Boost returns to explore AI for small business
Looking for an opportunity to learn? Bowie Economic Development is welcoming back Steve “ROI” Brown for an exciting Bowie Business Boost breakfast workshop starting at 7:30 a.m. on March 17 in the Bowie Community Center East Hall.
You don’t have to be green about your business with the best AI advice around from Brown that will leave a spring in your step because you will see how AI can act like an affordable “in-house team” for your business. This breakfast workshop will help you learn how to create marketing that looks polished, deliver customer service that feels fast and professional, and boost customer satisfaction and engagement.
It is about marketing strategies and tools to work the same day, so you walk out confidently and ready to communicate clearly, follow up faster, and run your business better immediately.
This is the first of four dynamic workshops hosted by the Bowie 4B EDC Team and coordinated by Acceleration by Design. Registration is $40 for all four sessions and is transferable.
So, mark your calendars for March 17, March 31, April 14 and April 28. Breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. followed by the program at 8 a.m. Other presenters are Marci Goodwin – small business doesn’t mean small ideas; Katie Milton Jordon with a new AI approach to business acceleration and Lorie Vincent with 20 ways to enhance your small business brand.

It’s time once again for the Montague County Cemetery Board Fish Fry.
The fish fry will begin serving at 5 p.m. on Aug. 22 at the Forestburg Community Center. The price is $10 per person for all you can eat, and child’s plate for 12 and under is $5. Take-out is also available.
The meal will consist of locally caught crappie and catfish, French fries, beans, hushpuppies, coleslaw and all the trimmings and homemade desserts.
The main purpose of the Montague County Cemetery Board is to look after the county’s abandoned cemeteries. The county has between 50 and 60 abandoned cemeteries. Cleaning a cemetery typically cost between $1,500 and $2,000. Any help is greatly appreciated. Help can be monetary, but it can also be as simple as reporting a suspected lost cemetery, allowing access to the cemetery, or spending a day alongside others cleaning. Volunteers are always welcome.
Another goal of the Cemetery Board is to obtain Historical Status from the Texas Historical Commission for the abandoned cemeteries. This status records the cemetery with both the county and state. It helps to protect them for years to come.
Leadership Montague County is now accepting applications for its upcoming class. Deadline to submit an application is Sept. 1.
Individuals who are interested in strengthening their leadership skills, expanding their knowledge of Montague County and building lasting professional and community relationships are encouraged to apply.
The program is a nine-month leadership development program consisting of nine, one-day, monthly meetings. Participants will explore topics including local government, agriculture, education, healthcare, business and industry, public safety, economic development and community leadership through interactive sessions and site visits. The group will be traveling to Austin in the spring to visit with the legislators and senators and to see how they work for the county residents.
Leadership Montague County is designed for emerging and established leaders who have a desire to become more involved in improving the quality of life throughout Montague County.
