St. Patrick’s Sip & Stroll planned March 17
Spring is on its way, and with it comes fun new events for Bowie. The staff and volunteers of Bowie Community Development are excited to announce the addition of a first-quarter event on March 17, appropriately themed, St. Patty’s Sip & Stroll With Me.
“After merchant requests, our Bowie Community Development Board voted to add a Sip event to the calendar in the first quarter,” said Traci Robertson, board president. “This event grows each time. We are excited to see our new businesses and locations in the historic downtown district as well as our favorites open late for shopping, networking, and entertainment.”
With the warming temperatures, the participating locations are preparing for the “mini-open house” event again starting at 5 p.m. on March 17. Guests are encouraged to bring their Sip glasses or purchase a new one along with armbands at any participating location for just $10.
Funds raised help with beatification projects and promotions.
