Chair Affair returning, chamber event on July 16
The Bowie Chamber of Commerce will host an elegant evening with The Chair Affair on July 16.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the event kicking off at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 at the chamber office, 101 E. Pecan. Call 872-1173 to order.
It is semi-formal attire with hors d’oeuvres and refreshments. Entertainment will come from the Granbury Little Big Band and a semi-silent auction featuring new, vintage, and hand-crafted chairs donated by local individuals, organizations all at the Bowie Community Center.
The chair is a symbol of the chamber’s commitment to its members. The legs serve as a strong foundation. The seat provides a place for rest and reflection. The back serves as a reliable source of support. The arms extend to welcome new relationships and embrace the membership. This auction helps the Bowie Chamber of Commerce perform its mission while giving its members an opportunity to network at a fun evening.
This event gives guests the chance to find that perfect patio chair or accent chair and provides a preview to the rewards of being a chamber member for those considering a membership.
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.

The Nocona City Council met this past week making plans for budget and tax rate hearings.
Councilors received a brief update on the 2024-25 budget preparations. City Secretary Revell Hardison said the final proposal is almost complete and they now await the arrival of the no-new revenue tax rate that will be reviewed by the council after it is calculated by the tax collector.
The proposal includes a tax rate increase of about 3% similar to last year and there will be a small increase in water and sewer rates, but Hardison said the final crunch on those will come after the tax rate projections arrive.
