Bowie Chamber of Commerce honors those who go ‘above and beyond’

Published

on

The Bowie Chamber of Commerce hosted its annual awards banquet Monday night with a full house of guests reflecting on a successful year of activities as members were asked to “Mind Your Business” by being active in the chamber of commerce.
As always the banquet was filled with elaborately decorated tables showcasing members, lots of visiting with new and old friends and entertainment from local history. Following a social hour in the community center gym area, the banquet hall was opened to gasps when more than 250 guests saw the 31 beautiful tables.
Outgoing President Cameron Gunter brought the welcome and introduced 2025 President Marché House.
Dave Lieber, well-known newspaper columnist, speaker, writer and author of “Amon! The Ultimate Texan,” gave an entertaining reflection on the life of Amon Carter, who became one of the driving forces of not only Fort Worth, but Texas business development. Lieber’s book on this Texas icon also has been turned into a theatrical production, which may perform in Bowie later this year.
