In my spare time (haha), with some help from a few friends, I'm going to start with a massive fundraiser for the old church that sits behind downtown at the corner of Denny and O'Connell Streets. Former Howe City Administrator Jim Fenton stopped by my office last week and presented me with an idea that another community is doing and raising a whole heck of amount of coin. Well, I'm going to take Mr. Fenton's idea and see if we can make it work in Howe. Dr. Georgia Caraway and others will sit on a committee for the restoration and fundraising. On November 7 in downtown, we will have a live auction of a mass amounts of items. We're asking businesses and individuals to donate something to the auction list. This here online newspaper will put your business name or individual name in an updated list of items each week. In conjunction with the auction will be a $10 all-you-can-eat BBQ dinner. The Howe Fire Department has not been approached with this yet, but I think the HFD could host the dinner and collect those funds for that. All auction item money will go towards the renovation of the old church. Send your auction items to news@howeenterprise.com
The Downtown businesses along with the Howe Area Chamber of Commerce and Keep Howe Beautiful are throwing a block party this Saturday in downtown. This will be the 2nd Annual "Back to School Blues" block party and will once again feature blues artist Bill Boyd and his band from Sulphur Springs. Spectators will need to bring lawn chairs and a few dollars for glow sticks and bottled water that will be sold on the street by the non-profit organizations KHB and chamber.
