COUNTY LIFE
First three days of early voting tops 620
The first three full days of early voting saw 620 people cast their ballots across Montague County.
County Elections Administrator Ginger Wall said the new electronic voting machines are working well and they resolved a printer problem with the new poll books to end the first week with everyone being able to easily cast their ballot.
Early voting will continue through 5 p.m. on Feb. 28.
Those wishing to cast ballots for the March 3 party primaries can do so at any of four locations in Montague County: Courthouse Annex Community Room in Montague, Bible Baptist Church in Bowie, Saint Jo Civic Center and the H.J. Justin Community Room in Nocona.
The polls are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday-Friday. On Feb. 25 voting will be extended until 7 p.m., but only at the Montague location.
Sample ballots and relating information can be seen at the county website located at: co.montague.tx.us.
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.
