Friends ready reception for special rodeo exhibit
Friends of the Bowie Library will have an art reception for the rodeo collection on display at the library from 5 to 6:30 p.m. on May 5.
The collection includes pictures and memorabilia from local rodeo participants Roach Hedeman, Cody Lambert, Tom McFarland, Augie Nobile, John Hancock, Kelsey Hancock, Dane Lancaster, The Jim Bowie Saddle Club, Sandy Lambert, Karen Lambert, Debbie Campbell, Clyde Johnson and Jan Browning.
It will be a good time to remember these activities and the people involved in the events as the 50th anniversary Jim Bowie Days Celebration is readied for June.
