Taste of Nocona, Tap Dazzlers coming soon
There are a pair of fall events planned through the Nocona Senior Citizen’s Center, one to benefit the Meals on Wheels program and a second one for entertainment.
Taste of Nocona, Meals on Wheels Style, will be presented from noon to 2 p.m. on Oct. 17 at the Veranda Inn Events Center. Everyone is invited to taste local cuisine and support the Meals on Wheels program. Cost is $25 for adults and $10 for children ages 6-12. Children under six are free.
On Nov. 4 the Dallas Tap Dazzlers will be hosted by the Nocona Thursday Literary Club at the Nocona Senior Center at 400 Boston Street. The program is free and will take place at 1:30 p.m.
The Dazzlers are a senior tap troupe formed in 1990 that performs year-round to audiences of all ages. The group inspires others to stay physically and mentally fit, as their motto is “if you rest you rust.” The mid-age of this group is 69 and the oldest is 81.
Due to high lake levels at Lake Amon G. Carter, the Jim Bowie Days Association organizers announced Friday the tournament has been postponed and a new date will be named soon.
Texas AgriLife Extension will host a July workshop on July 26, Preserving the Harvest, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the United Presbyterian Church of Montague County, 300 W. Nelson.
This four-part series will teach and review the food preservation processes including water bathing, pickling, dehydrating and pressure canning. This program will have both education and hands-on activities with take-home practice.
Seating is limited so call the extension office to register at 894-4831.
The 2025 Pioneer Court will be led by Joan Cantwell as the pioneer queen, with Duchesses Bill Ann Jones and Sue Swint.
A coronation of the court will be at 2:30 p.m. on June 27 at the Bowie Community Center. The public is invited to attend the crowning followed by a reception hosted by the Amity Club of Bowie.
Meet the ladies of the Pioneer Court in the Thursday Bowie News. Coming next week the young ladies competing for Miss Jim Bowie Days and Little Miss.
