The Howe Area Chamber of Commerce board met this week to discuss a summer event to benefit all Howe non-profits. The event, dubbed “Hotter ‘N Howe Summer Bash 2019” will be a kid-friendly family event held at Howe’s Bicentennial Park on US Highway 75 on July 27, 2019 from 3 pm – dark. The two-ballpark area will feature a water slide and other activities.
The planning is in the beginning stages, but the chamber has had great responses from the youth sports organizations, Howe Volunteer Fire Department, Girl Scouts, and more.
Confirmed are Howe Youth Baseball who will host a home run derby at Hash Field, sell burgers, and are considering a movie after dark at the ballpark. Howe Youth Volleyball will sell funnel cakes and host a volleyball tournament. The Howe Volunteer Fire Department will have their trucks on-site and are considering a water-balloon fight and a slip ‘n slide. The Howe Development Foundation will be selling drinks including sodas and water. The Howe Chamber will provide a water slide, sell popsicles, and sausage on a stick. The Girl Scouts Troop 3698 will be selling Cowboy Nachos.
Others are meeting to determine their role in the event. Howe Youth Softball is considering hosting a kickball tournament at North Field. Howe Athletic Booster Club is considering selling Dip ‘N Dots. Howe Youth Football is considering a football throw.
All Howe non-profits should contact the Howe Area Chamber of Commerce, info@howechamber.com, to become a part of this event.
Each organization could use sponsorship help as the Howe Chamber’s water slide is sponsored by HIT Exteriors, LLC, TLD Design Consulting, and Housewarmers of Grayson County.
