COUNTY LIFE
Dancing to the Stars this Saturday
Dancing to the Stars returns to Montague County on Nov. 4 as a fundraiser for the North Central Texas College Foundation-Montague County supporting students attending the Bowie campus and projects of the Bowie Rotary Club.
Playing off of the popular television dancing competition show, area celebrities are paired together and with the help of professional dancers, they prepare one dance to perform at the event.
Votes are cast by donating money in the name of each dancer, and the one who collects the most votes (raises the most money) is the Mirror Ball Champion.
This year’s celebrity couples are: Baxter Swint and Cade Ellis, Kent and Amy Stagg, Alan and Tammie Miller, Michael Daily and Jill Hunt, Belinda and Arn Anderson and Michelle Fenoglio and Jayson Toerck.
Tickets for the evening are no longer available, but those who want to support a dancer or couple can do so online at: www. nctc.edu. Click on the vote tab under the event to vote.
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.
Meet the ladies of the Pioneer Court in the Thursday Bowie News. Coming next week the young ladies competing for Miss Jim Bowie Days and Little Miss.
