COUNTY LIFE
Pothole located on Wagonseller Road near east frontage road at U.S. Highway 287 with a tape measure at 5-feet across.
The Bowie News is returning to an old favorite from many years ago, Pothole of the Week, which will point out problem areas in any city or area of the county. The goal is to inform and to point out problem areas, not to simply complain.
It will feature a reader-submitted photo, so we invite those wishing to participate to email their photo to [email protected] or submit them on The Bowie News Facebook page. Names of those submitting the pics will not be published, but names and contact numbers will be required to confirm submission. Also include the pothole’s location.
Please remember this is a reader-driven feature and we will rely on readers to submit photos.
For a fun night out make plans to attend the 22nd annual July Jam starting at 6 p.m. on July 27 in the Bowie Community Center West Hall
There will be a “chickin’ pickin’ fiddling fun time” as guests will be entertained by amazing fiddling tunes and enjoy a chicken meal.
Tickets are just $15 with the event starting at 6 p.m. The funds raised help provide awards for the championship fiddler competition during the Oct. 5 Chicken and Bread Days Heritage Festival. The contest attracts talented musicians from all over to visit downtown Bowie to test their fiddling skills.
The event, hosted by Bowie Community Development, will feature a unique array of items up for bid in the silent auction plus a wide variety of homemade jams.
Hosted in conjunction with July Jam is the July Jam Poker Cruise presented by the Piston Heads Auto Club. This event starts at 9 a.m. with a $5 per hand entry and is open to anything with a motor.
The 60-mile cruise with three stops starts in Bowie Plaza and ends in the same location. Half of the proceeds goes to the winning hand with $5 charge for each extra card for hand. Buy as many as each driver would like. The other half of the funds raised goes towards the July Jam fundraising event.
Filing began July 22 for the Nov. 5 elections for city and school boards and will run through Aug. 19.
Places coming open on the Bowie City Council include Place One presently filled by TJay McEwen, Place Two with Kristi Bates and Place Three with Terry Gunter.
For the Bowie Independent School District Place One with Jacky Betts and Place Two with Nichole Maddox will be up for elections.
