Commissioners meet Monday
The Montague County Commissioner’s Court will meet at 9 a.m. on Jan. 27.
A delinquent tax collection contract with Perdue, Brandon, Fielder, Collins and Mott LLP will be presented to the court along with tax assessor collector’s required cybersecurity training program for all county employees.
Commissioners will consider temporary help in the district clerk’s office, and an application for the Federal Surplus Property Program.
Other topics on Monday’s agenda will include: Review of a preliminary plat for lots one-eight in block one of Amon Carter Estates; consider going out for bids on unleaded gas and off road diesel for the county; precinct two to trade in a Case TV380 to buy a Bobcat T870; mitigation plan update; monthly bills, reports and minutes and consider a recommendation from the Nortex Regional Planning Commission to change similar road names to comply with Nortex, Nex Gen 911 system.
The Back to School Fair for Bowie Independent School District students will be 9 a.m. on July 20 in the high school cafeteria and gym.
The fair will feature free school supplies, haircuts and eye screening and vendors.
The 22nd annual July Jam returns on July 27 to the Bowie Community Center West Hall, 413 Pelham Street in Bowie.
There will be a “chickin’ pickin’ fiddling fun time” as guests will be entertained by amazing fiddling tunes and enjoying a chicken meal with delicious homemade jams because it wouldn’t be July Jam without it.
Tickets are just $15 with the event starting at 6 p.m. The funds raised help provide awards for the Championship Fiddler Competition during Chicken and Bread Days Heritage Festival on Oct. 5.
This attracts talented musicians from all over to visit downtown Bowie to test their fiddling skills on stage in the Bowie Fire Hall on Oct. 5.
Along with the live fiddling entertainment, come hungry and be ready to outbid your neighbors at the silent auction or just stop by for a great meal, fellowship and soak in the air conditioning.
