June has opened so it must be time to start making plans for the 60th Jim Bowie Days Celebration June 19-27.
It will be a golden anniversary for the western festival that offers fun for the entire family. From a barbecue cookoff to pet parade, rodeo and pickleball, don’t miss any of the action.
Activities get underway with the 2nd annual Smokedown BBQ Cookoff which welcomed 24 teams during its first outing. The cooking competition will be June 19 and 20 in the Pelham Park area and community center.
Registration will be on the day of the event. Friday night will feature the steak challenge and on Saturday the contest has beans ($20 entry fee), chicken, pork spare ribs and brisket ($200 entry fee).
