Chicken and Bread Days vendors wanted
Vendor spaces are still available for the 23rd Annual Chicken and Bread Days Heritage Festival.
This friendly, small-town festival takes place in historic downtown Bowie from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Oct. 6.
The deadline for vendor reservations is Sept. 30. All vendor spaces are outdoor, 10 ft. x 10 ft. spaces. Vendor fees are the same as last year, with arts and crafts spaces only $20, and food vendor spaces $25. There is an additional $10 fee for electricity.
Vendors supply their own tables, chairs, canopies and extension cords. Set-up will begin at 6:30 a.m. the morning of the festival with take-down beginning at 4 p.m.
For a vendor application stop by the Bowie Community Development office, 101 E. Pecan St. or call 940-872-6246.
It is once more time to spring forward as Daylight Saving Time begins on March 9. Move your clocks forward one hour before you go to bed on Saturday night, so you will not out on Sunday activities.
Tourism staff from the Texas Lakes Trail made their annual Travel Information Center Blitz Monday and their travels include a quick stop in Bowie to the World’s Largest Bowie Knife. Mayor Gaylynn Burris welcomed the group and Bowie Community Development’s Cindy Roller was taking part in the trek that began in Grapevine at 8 a.m. The bus then went to the TIC in Wichita Falls, followed by lunch on the road before a visit to the TIC in Gainesville and then the TIC in Denison before returning to Grapevine. Despite the dreary weather, the travelers said they were excited to see the knife that tourism and people in the industry talk about.
