Springer visits Thursday; citizens candidate forum follows
Citizens are invited to take part in a pair of political forums Thursday in Bowie.
State Rep. Drew Springer (R-Muenster) will have a town hall at the Bowie Community Room from 4:30 to 5:45 p.m. on Oct. 19. Springer will discuss results from the recent legislative sessions and take questions from his constituents.
From 6 to 8 p.m. Bowie citizens are invited to learn about the candidates running for city council. This meet and greet will be in the back room of The Brick in downtown Bowie on Oct. 19.
Each candidate will have an opportunity to introduce themselves and be available for questions. Gaylynn Burris, who is an uncontested candidate for Bowie mayor and a present council member, will be host.
The Bowie City Council has contested races in all three precincts. In the east precinct, Councilor Wayne Bell is challenged by Bill Miller. North Precinct Councilor Jim Graham faces Thomas Kent and Arlene Bishop. South Precinct Councilor Chuck Malone faces Machelle Mills and Amy Johns.
The cast and crew of Gold-Burg High School’s state-bound one-act play “Interview,” will present a public show at 4 p.m. on May 5 in the Bowie Junior High Auditorium.
Admission is $5 and there will be a bake sale to raise funds for travel and other OAP expenses. The show is directed by Linda Fitzner.
The group will travel to Austin to perform on May 13 for the state title. This is the school’s first time to take a play to the state contest.
