For this year's band performances, Director Angie Liss had planned to order digitally printed backdrops with pictures of a school, classroom, and playground. These backdrops are used during marching competition which has become a big part of the presentations over the past several years. However, when Liss called to confirm the order, she was told that the one-week turnaround she was promised would actually take a month to six weeks to complete.

This would have resulted in a spending of over $1,000 that might only be used a few times. Not wanting to justify the expense, Liss remembered that the backside of last year's "Stained Glass" props were solid black vinyl.

"I said something to the whole band about doing "kids drawings" on the back of the vinyls," said Liss. "That's when Kaden (Bateman) and Bethany (Van page 9

Marathon

Continued from page 2 spurred an idea that would become the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM) Fowler outlined a unique plan for the Marine Corps Reserve Marathon (MCRM) to promote community goodwill, showcase the Marine Corps, serve as a recruiting tool and also give Marines an opportunity to qualify for the marathon in Boston

"After the Vietnam War, the popularity of the military services declined in the eyes of many At the same time, distance running was gaining considerable positive attention," said Fowler, driving him to write a memo to his superior, Gen Michael Ryan, on Oct 17, 1975, sharing his idea

Under Fowler's and Ryan's leadership, the Marine Corps Reserve Marathon welcomed its first participants to the Washington D.C. start line Nov. 7,

1976 Of the total participants, 994 were male and 24 were female making 1,018 finishers At the time, this was the largest inaugural participation for a marathon Each participant paid an entry fee of only $2 to enjoy a run through the nation's capital The first person to arrive at the finish with a time of 2:21:14was two-time Olympian Kenneth Moore of Eugene, OR Susan Mallery of Arlington, VA led all females by finishing in 2:56:33

This success gave Fowler the motivation to make the second even better Colonel Fowler met with the Chief of Police for the District of Columbia and was granted a parade permit empowering him to alter the Marathon's course to the more scenic route enjoyed by participants today.

about your antiques and with Georgia Caraway

Is it just me or did this year go by lightning fast? Here we are at the end of November approaching Christmas in just a few weeks and then the end of the year. Yipes.

significant Howe it was ago into this community and buildings at Street. a title these three structures with a dream in my head of opening an antique and gift shop with some friends. Little did I know that Howe would become a second home for me and that Oz and I would spend almost every weekend here. We opened for business on April 20, 2015, and it has proven to be one of the joys of my adult life. It hasn’t been easy to maintain an antique business in a small town, but word is getting out about our distinct and varied merchandise and our displays. My fellow antique business partners join me from Garland, McKinney, Flower Mound, Howe, Denton, Van Alstyne, and Pennsylvania to provide the unique offerings throughout the store.

And another exciting chapter occurred in November with the first event being held in Cottonwood Creek Pavilion behind Howe Mercantile in the space we built for small events. The wedding rehearsal dinner for 65 was a huge success, the weather cooperated, and the facility performed just as I had hoped, providing a lovely rustic setting for a celebration of love.

I named it Cottonwood Creek because of the gorgeous huge cottonwood tree on the property and the story of a creek running underground through the alleyway. The small garden setting with the archway leading up the special needs ramp provides the perfect frame for the entry into the Pavilion. If you look up as you pass under the arch, you will see a cross that blesses all who enter.

An unexpected added bonus was that the Howe Mercantile was open during our regular hours during the event and offered another form of entertainment shopping! We had a banner sales night. Who knew?

So, the Pavilion is officially ready to be leased for your party, reunion, or special event. Call Georgia for details at 817313-2168.

Georgia Caraway and her friends operate the Howe Mercantile at 107-109 1/2 East Haning. Store hours are Thursday through Saturday 12 noon until 8 p.m. Georgia’s book, Tips, Tools & Techniques, on how to take care of your antiques and collectibles, and her 5 Denton history books are available at Howe Mercantile. She hopes her next book will be the history of Howe.
