Students can receive free backpacks and school supplies while supplies last, and kids can also take advantage of free haircuts before heading back to class. Enjoy free food provided by the New Boston Volunteer Fire Department, bounce houses, face painting, balloon artists, and a variety of kid-focused booths. Serving Families Across The Bowie County Region and MoreWhile the event places a special emphasis on serving families in West Bowie County, Avery, Texas, and Foreman, Arkansas, organizers say everyone is welcome to attend. Whether you're picking up school supplies, enjoying the family-friendly activities, or simply spending the day with friends and family, the West Bowie County Back to School Bash continues to be a great way for the community to come together before the first day of school.
