Not a bad seat in the house for The Chair Affair
A wonderful array of unique chairs have been designed for the first ever Bowie Chamber of Commerce Chair Affair on June 14, and there is still plenty of time to get your tickets.
This week, Committee Chairman Courtney McEwen was sorting and cataloguing the 49 chairs that will be showcased during the new networking and socializing event hosted by the chamber.
“Participation has been tremendous,” she said, “with 49 chairs donated and ready for viewing. There is a unique assortment with pet designs, children, garden, storage and others that are just fun.”
The Chair Affair will be at 7 p.m. June 14 at the Bowie Community Center. Pictured Courtney McEwen, event chairman, sorts through some of the unique chairs readied for the Chair Affair. (Photo by Barbara Green)
