Downtown Bowie gearing up for Harvest Sip & Stroll, followed by C&B
More fun is on the horizon for downtown Bowie with the changing of the seasons as the staff and volunteer of Bowie Community Development bring more activities starting with Harvest Sip & Stroll on Oct. 4, the night before Chicken and Bread Days.
Harvest Sip & Stroll With Me welcomes more than 20 participating merchants that will join fiddlers, horse-drawn carriage rides and a cool fall harvest photobooth for strollers to enjoy.
It is just $15 for Sip armband which includes a commemorative souvenir Sip glass. Previous strollers are encouraged to bring their past Sip glass as supplies are limited. See what is new and true to downtown Bowie along with many other popup shops. All proceeds go to the beautification projects for City of Bowie Community Development.
Cindy Roller, BCD director, invites strollers to find those perfect treasures: Jewelry, refreshments, apparel, shoes, fun hat bars, leather works, antiques, 3D printing and electronics, local beef and much more. Dine in Bowie while enjoying this fun event.

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)
