“Texas Tunes for Tornado Relief” comes to Bowie’s Pelham Park on June 29 to raise funds for disaster relief in the community.
Bowie was devastated by a May 22 F1 tornado destroying and damaging more than 400 homes and businesses. Now is the time to help out and have a fun evening.
Bring your lawn chairs, your dollars and get ready for a great time at the city pool pavilion area from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
All the activities are free, but participants will be asked to make a donation. Money will go into the disaster relief fund set up at Legend Bank in Bowie. For more about the fund or to donate go to: bowietexasedc.com.
The summer evening looks to be great fun with games, music and food.
Live music for the evening in order of appearance will include: Victory Church and Jackson Blaylock, Jennifer Harris, Mark Murphey and Friends, program to honor first responders, Kevin Polk, Kim Williams and Kara Kehoe and Monty Dawson.
Activities will include eight water slides, four inflatable games, corn hole, cross net, face painting and a dunk tank with “Dunk the Pastor” and other celebrities. There will be free swimming at the pool from 7-9 p.m. in 35-minute increments with a limit of 175 due to COVID-19 restrictions.
There will be food and drinks, along with a live and silent auction that will feature a Traeger Grill.
