24 years of happy clucking for Chicken & Bread Days
The 24th Annual Chicken and Bread Days Heritage Festival celebrates the pioneering spirit of Bowie, as Bowie Community Development continues to team up with fellow organizations and entities to hatch another great event.
A preview evening Sip & Stroll begins festival weekend on Oct. 4 at 5 p.m. There will be horse-drawn carriage rides (donation only) available during the Sip & Stroll and Chicken and Bread Days.

Saturday morning the delightful tunes of the championship fiddlers competition fill the air from the Bowie Fire Hall. Registration opens at 9 a.m. at the fire hall at 203 Walnut Street with bows starting to fly at 10 a.m. There are a variety of age groups for the competition plus accompanist honors. Festival goers are invited to watch the show.
Classic and antique vehicles will be on display for the Piston Heads Auto Club show. Special awards in six various divisions will be presented. Entry forms are at: pistonheadsautoclub.com.
