The deadline for vendor reservations is Sept. 30. All vendor spaces are outdoor, 10 feet x 10 feet 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 or more information stop by the Bowie Community Development office, located at 101 E. Pecan St. or call 940-872-6246.
It’s time for Clear the Shelter on Aug. 24 and the community is invited to take part in a day dedicated to finding forever homes for unwanted or uncared for dogs and cats.
Volunteers at the Bowie Animal Shelter will take part in this nationwide event from 8 a.m. to noon at the shelter located at 1504 E. Wise.
Low-cost vaccines will be provided for cats and dogs through Cross Timbers Veterinary Hospital from 8 to 11 a.m. Microchip your pet for $15 through the shelter volunteers.
For those interested in adopting a pet, all adoption fees have been waived on Clear the Shelter Day. If you have been considering adoption, this would be a good day to visit with the animals.
Other activities this day include a bake sale, silent auction and food vendors. Lots of great items have been donated for prize drawings and for the silent auction.
