Dips for the big party
Jan 31, 2020
Americans are getting ready for the Super Bowl, played this Sunday in Miami, by stocking up on dips and chips, making sales soar in the week leading up to the event. According to numbers by trade association Snac International (formerly the Snack Food Association), dip mixes and refrigerated dips were the most sought after snack for the event. But the sale of tortilla chips, pretzels and potato chips also rose more than the 10 percent average increase of snack sales during the week.
In this year’s Super Bowl LVI the San Fransisco 49ers will compete against the Kansas City Chiefs, who haven’t played the event in 50 years. Despite the fact, experts are divided on who will take home the trophy. While only one team can be the winner, everybody at home can enjoy snack foods, commercials and the half-time show on Sunday, which some even say is the main draw of the event.
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.
