A Howe citizen informed the city on Tuesday morning of damage to Summit Gardens wedding and event venue. A vehicle drove through the shrubs and damaged the historic 1893 former First Christian Church which was recently renovated as an event venue operated by the Howe Development Foundation. The structure is owned by the City of Howe and was dedicated to the city in 1982.
Howe Police Sergeant Keith Milks responded to the scene to gather information on the hit-and-run. The investigation is ongoing.
