Keep Howe Beautiful’s 5K Mud Run was “mudded-out” back in April and they have revamped the course to prevent another rescheduling.  The newest route for the 5k will start at 101 E. Haning in downtown Howe and loop through a muddy Jones Park and then routed through most of the inner city streets out of the mud.

Registrations starts at 8am at 101 E. Haning St.  The 5K run is $40 per person.

May 18 – Howe Police Sgt. Mike Hill and Officers David Morris and Brandon Ozuna arrested a 41-year-old Howe resident on outstanding warrants for Child Pornography, Aggravated Sexual Assault of a Child, and Indecency with a Child. Police say the charges did not originate from any offense in Howe. The suspect was booked into the Grayson County Jail.

May 19– HPD Officer Robert Todd arrested a 51-year-old Denison woman on outstanding warrants for Felony Bail Jumping, Failure to Appear, Motion to Revoke (Poss CS PG 2 > 1), Failure to Appear (Man/Del CS PG 1 > 1g) and 2 Capias warrants. The arrest was the result of a traffic stop on NB US Hwy 75 in which the Denison woman was a passenger. The woman initially lied about her identity. She had additional charges added for Failure to Identify and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. And yes, the stop was on Hwy 75. And for the few who believe our officers shouldn’t work the highway, our officers’ efforts there have resulted in the identification of bank robbers, the recovery of stolen vehicles, the arrests of countless wanted individuals, the arrests of numerous drunk drivers, and the seizure of large amounts of drugs (some even headed to Howe). They say they will continue working the highway.

On Friday, the Howe Area Chamber of Commerce welcomed the newest business to town, Howe Mercantile, which is located at 107 E. Haning St. in downtown Howe. Owner Georgia Caraway brought several of her friends from Denton where she resides and has been active in the community for many years.

Howe Mercantile carries luxury antiques and vintage clothing in the two units 107 and 109. She will have several partners working the store with her during their operating days of Thursdays through Saturdays.

It was the first Howe Area Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting ceremony other than their own. With the growing community of Howe, it appears that more of these events are sure to be taking place.

On-hand were Howe Mayor Jeff Stanley, Howe City Council Member Debbie Lowery, Grayson County Commissioner Jeff Whitmire and Howe Development Alliance Director Monte Walker.  Walker said a few words before the ribbon cutting congratulating Caraway and the partners for their grand opening and thanking them for choosing Howe and renovating the downtown units.

Friends of Caraway enjoyed a bite to eat at Abby’s Restaurant before going back to the store for cake, coffee and tea.
