Special council meeting called for Tuesday for budget and tax rate
We here at the Howe Enterprise did our part to try and enhance your game experience at Bulldog Stadium. Thanks to Howe ISD, they allowed us to place speakers on the concession stand and behind the home bleachers. Rapid Electric did the installation. The idea is not for the broadcast to disrupt the experience from those sitting in the bleachers, but for those that need to make that quick trip to the restroom or grab some famous Cowboy Nachos at the concession stand. ***** To The Howe Enterprise— Several people from (Bells) were unable to attend the game between Bells and Howe last night due to the limited capacity. Fortunately, we discovered your live broadcast and was able to hear the play by play (and the nacho review!). Whoever your broadcasting crew is; they are a class act team! Unlike other towns that broadcast the games with unkind words, you guys were cordial, calling good plays good regardless of which team did it, gave credit where credit was due and most of all, sounded like you love the game and appreciate the kids trying their best on the field regardless of the jersey color! - Tammy.

Burglary and shooting east Annual First Responder of Howe area leads to arrest Cookout (drive-through style)
On August 31, 2020, at approximately 1:00 pm, Grayson County Sheriff Deputies responded to the 300 block of Red Road in east Howe, Texas in reference to a shooting/burglary which had taken place. Upon arrival, deputies were advised of the complainant observing his son’s home being burglarized and property being taken out of the home and placed in a vehicle that did not belong to the complainant’s son. As the alleged suspects were leaving the home in the vehicle, the complainant fired several rounds at the fleeing vehicle and struck one of the alleged suspects in the leg. The alleged suspects drove to Wilson N. Jones Hospital
where one of the alleged suspects was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
