THANK YOU PROPOINT! Thank you for your generous sponsorship and for all the participation!

Thank you Bowman County Fair for a great fair weekend! Our team participated in several ways and we can’t thank them enough. We were happy to once again be the sponsors of the Ranch Rodeo. And of course, we ended it all with the Fair Parade by Bowman Area Chamber of Commerce.
