Chicken and Bread Art Show seeking entrants
Bowie Alliance for Education and the Arts will conduct the 2015 Art Exhibit at this year’s Chicken and Bread Days Heritage Festival at the Bowie Community Room.
This family festival is coordinated by Main Street Bowie. The art exhibit will feature the following categories of art: Painting, photography, three-dimensional and works on paper. There is no registration fee.
The exhibit will be 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 5 with a ‘meet the artist’ reception at 3:30 p.m. This show always has a great variety of unique artwork for everyone to enjoy.
All pieces must be “gallery ready” and artists are allowed to submit their work between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.on Oct. 2 in the community room.
Artists also will have an opportunity to sell their work.
For detailed instructions on how to submit your work and to retrieve a registration form call Shannon Skiles at the Main Street Office, 940-872-6246 or email [email protected].
The Back to School Fair for Bowie Independent School District students will be 9 a.m. on July 20 in the high school cafeteria and gym.
The fair will feature free school supplies, haircuts and eye screening and vendors.
The 22nd annual July Jam returns on July 27 to the Bowie Community Center West Hall, 413 Pelham Street in Bowie.
There will be a “chickin’ pickin’ fiddling fun time” as guests will be entertained by amazing fiddling tunes and enjoying a chicken meal with delicious homemade jams because it wouldn’t be July Jam without it.
Tickets are just $15 with the event starting at 6 p.m. The funds raised help provide awards for the Championship Fiddler Competition during Chicken and Bread Days Heritage Festival on Oct. 5.
This attracts talented musicians from all over to visit downtown Bowie to test their fiddling skills on stage in the Bowie Fire Hall on Oct. 5.
Along with the live fiddling entertainment, come hungry and be ready to outbid your neighbors at the silent auction or just stop by for a great meal, fellowship and soak in the air conditioning.
