Shebang event nears on Sept. 17
Exterior of the new agriculture barn at Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum.
Tickets are now on sale for Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum’s Shebang on Sept. 17.
Tickets for the dinner and live auction are $50 each. Call 825-5330 to reserve or buy tickets. Shebang is the only major fundraiser presented by the museum each year and helps with operational expenses and special projects. This year the museum board plans to complete the agriculture exhibit barn with proceeds. This year’s live auction continues the tradition of limited edition framed artwork, but how about a golf cart or a Dareway for persons up to 88 pounds. For experiences consider a tour for eight at Arche´ Winery and a ride to school in a horse drawn carriage.
Also get a ticket for a grand-prize drawing that will offer three top prizes including: Browning 12-gauge Citori shotgun, a Yeti cooler and dinner for 20 at Daddy Sam’s. Tickets are $50 and on sale at the museum.
Due to high lake levels at Lake Amon G. Carter, the Jim Bowie Days Association organizers announced Friday the tournament has been postponed and a new date will be named soon.
Texas AgriLife Extension will host a July workshop on July 26, Preserving the Harvest, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the United Presbyterian Church of Montague County, 300 W. Nelson.
This four-part series will teach and review the food preservation processes including water bathing, pickling, dehydrating and pressure canning. This program will have both education and hands-on activities with take-home practice.
Seating is limited so call the extension office to register at 894-4831.
The 2025 Pioneer Court will be led by Joan Cantwell as the pioneer queen, with Duchesses Bill Ann Jones and Sue Swint.
A coronation of the court will be at 2:30 p.m. on June 27 at the Bowie Community Center. The public is invited to attend the crowning followed by a reception hosted by the Amity Club of Bowie.
