Block Party

the premises thanks to First United Methodist Church of Howe. There will also be vendors such as Everything Ice Cream and Chill Out Shaved Ice along with several others

The event will start at 5pm and go through 9pm just as the sun falls over small-town America Throngs of Howe community members are expected to be in attendance, many driving into town to attend the guitar-laden celebration

Elmore, who attended Howe schools from third through eighth grade has gone on to be one of the upcoming guitar local icons of the blues/rock world The band is currently set to release their third full album, titled Champagne Velvet in September 2016 on the Underworld Records label According to the band's website, the album is a slight change of direction from the band’s 2010 album Upside Your Head and 2013’s Tell You What, both of which featured a heavy emphasis on Texas rock and blues

Champagne Velvet sees the band exploring their soul, blues, and country roots more in-depth than before with a sense of excitement and fire that is uncommon in the contemporary blues scene. It is a throwback to 1950’s jump blues, rockabilly, and Memphis soul

The chamber suggests that patrons bring lawn chairs to the event howeenterprise.com

Monday, cringe at the thought of their babies being tackled or blocked or even pancaked by another kid The game unpacks the bubble wrap and styrofoam peanuts from the young as if to hand them their first rifle, dress them in camo, put black under their eyes and help them to make that first kill shot It's the thought of the young boy becoming a young man

Kids are playing the sport at more of a younger age than ever before and are accomplishing feats and suffering defeats while learning valuable life lessons Winning isn't the end-all-be-all, but it sure beats losing - and they both equally teach about life There is no "turning the scoreboard off" in life Your failures are there for everyone to see But the flip side of that is that; your accomplishments are also projected up high in lights

The game teaches mental toughness more than physical toughness. It teaches that nothing good happens in individualism, but everything good happens when everyone rows in the same direction Imagine ten young men rowing a boat down the river They all work together and they keep the boat floating straight and fast If one person, however, decides to take a break, or even worse, row the wrong way - the boat does not operate as intended and if it stays straight, it is because others are overcompensating for the laziness or defiance of another

Our 5th and 6th grade team, led by Head Coach Michael Portman requires all of our players to dress the same, with shirt tails tucked in and no individualized colored socks We look the same and we play as one That, to me, plays a big part in how we've been so successful and have won two championships in three years

Superb athletes without training or discipline are just a bunch of impressive rowers doing what they want and getting nowhere Superb athletes with discipline and training become something truly special Tom Landry once stated that a good coach requires athletes to do the things they don't want to do in order to achieve the things they want to achieve That also filters into life Kids on our team are required to run at the end of practice for a very long time at different paces Just when they are exhausted and think that they are done and there's nothing left - they always find that there's a little bit more in the gas tank We hope that mentality will spill over to when they are married or when they have a terrible week at work There's always a little bit left to give

Football, while it is a reckoning to individuals is a bounty for a platoon The game brings communities together because of one name that shines bright on the front of the jersey The spirit of team colors, mascots, cheerleaders, and all that comes with the strange fascination that we have with the warrior-spirited game pumps life into a community Some towns even hang their hat on their football team Love it or hate it, America is obsessed with football
