The Howe Area Chamber of Commerce confirmed that all inductees will be present or represented at the Howe Hall of Honor Ceremony on May 4 at 6:30 in Downtown Howe.
Living inductees Harold Taylor and Norman Bennett will each be present for the honor. Bennett stated that he would make the trip to Howe from El Paso unless illness occurred, but in typical Bennett fashion, he stated that he was not planning for illness. Bennett’s presence could bring a plethora of former Howe High School teachers to the event including Donna Jarma who is making plans to attend and honor Bennett with the induction speech.
The deceased members to be enshrined are Bob Williams and Tommy Skipworth. The families of each have stated that they will be present that evening.
Also, it is the night that the chamber announces their Norma J. Wallace Citizen of the Year Award along with the Business of the Year and Volunteer Organization of the Year.
Nominees for Citizen of the Year are Anna Anderson, Monte Walker, and Donna Wormsbaker.
Nominees for Business of the Year are Howe Family Dentistry, Independent Bank, and Palio’s Pizza Cafe.
Nominees for Volunteer Organization of the Year are Howe Fire Department, Keep Howe Beautiful, and Peggy’s Porch.
Tickets for the event are $15 each and approximately 80 seats will be available, 65 of which can be purchased online by visiting https://goo.gl/qNuvS7
