Outdoor music park festival moves indoors
Due to the weather forecast for rainfall on Saturday, the third annual Music in the Park event has been moved inside the community center on June 13.
Bonnie Kinder, event coordinator, said the park area would be a muddy mess if it rains, so they feel better moving it inside to go on as planned. Chairs will be available inside.
This free musical evening will feature a unique array of musical talent to entertain the guests. This festival is hosted by the Bowie Community Center and R&K Sound Company.
Music in the Park is free, but there is a $5 cooler charge. Food trucks will be on site and beer sales will be available through a local restaurant.
Live music begins at 4:30 p.m. with the opening acts of Jesse Wadsworth, Thad Murphy and the Monty Dawson Band of Bowie. The Lowdown Drifters will be headliner bringing their American country rock style to Bowie. In 2025, The Lowdown Drifters were honored as Americana Artist of the Year at the Texas Country Music Awards YouTube.
If you want to start Saturday early, pull on your sneakers and take part in the Music Festival 5K run/walk. The run is 8 a.m. on June 13 at Pelham Park Pavilion.
The run-walk is open to all paces and all ages. Early packet pickup is 3-6 p.m. on June 12. Chip-timed by Styles Performance. Charity proceeds will go to Pregnancy Resource Center.
Cost to enter is $35. Participants will receive a finisher medal and T-shirt. Find the QR code to register on the Bowie Community Development Board or Bowie Community Center Events Facebook pages.

A heat advisory continues to blanket North Texas, please take care out in the heat. Check on your neighbors and pets to make sure they are staying comfortable and safe.
The annual summer chlorine conversion at the City of Bowie Water Treatment Plant will run Aug. 6 to Sept. 5.
Jerry Sutton, plant supervisor, said customers may notice some minor odor and taste issues with the water during this period as the treatment system changes disinfectant. This is a yearly state mandate for the conversion. Questions may be directed to the water plant at 940-872-6414
The plant uses a combination of ammonia and chlorine called chloramines. Across a period of time those ingredients build up in the system and it takes a change to straight chlorine across 28 days to clear it out. At the end of 30 days the water should return to normal.
