Save the date for the Bowie CC banquet Jan. 22
The Bowie Chamber of Commerce invites you to “save the date” for its annual award banquet on Jan. 22.
Doors will open at 6 p.m. that night in the Bowie Community Center for a social hour followed by the banquet room doors opening at 6:40 p.m. to seating. Tickets are $40 and now available to reserve.
Along with the awards there will be door prizes, plus a live and silent auction. New directors and outgoing directors and officers also will be recognized.
The chamber is calling all table decorators to put their own special touch to the banquet tables using this year’s theme, “Lights, camera, action.”
Decorators can feature their business using the theme, as well as any special event or promotion you may have planned for the year. The top decorator award awaits. Call the chamber at 872-1173 to sign-up for a table.
Award nominations are due Jan. 8.
Each year the chamber presents awards for Business of the Year, Community Support Award and the Frances Brite Citizen of the Year. All nominations are strictly confidential.
Email info@bowietxchamber.org or drop them off at the office located at 101 East Pecan Street. Nomination forms are on the chamber website at bowietxchamber.org
The nomination should include an explanation of why you feel this business should be considered for this award.
Attach any additional documentation to support the nomination. You may nominate anyone who qualifies, including your own business.
Nominations will be reviewed by the committee and the results announced during the banquet.

TxDOT is hosting a virtual meeting to review projects included in the 2027-2030 Rural TIP.
The program is at 4 p.m. on May 6 and 11:59 p.m. on May 19, all online at https://bit.ly/4uhDwMG
The Rural TIP is a list of local projects to be funded during the next four years in the Wichita Falls District of the Texas Department of Transportation.
The counties included are Archer, Baylor, Clay, Cooke, Montague, Throckmorton, Wichita, Wilbarger, and Young. Transportation projects cannot receive federal funding unless they are included in the Rural TIP. This includes projects for private vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, public transport, and commercial vehicles.
A section of Roach Street has been closed for the last few weeks as a new sewer line was installed replacing old clay tile line. It is phase two of multi-phase sewer line project across the city funded through a Texas Water Development Board loan of more than $9.7 million. The project will replace nearly10 miles of aging lines. (News photo by Barbara Green)
