At 11:30 tomorrow (Friday, May 15), the Howe Area Chamber of Commerce will cut a ribbon for someone other than themselves. Howe Mercantile, located at 107 E. Haning Street opened their doors on Founders Day, April 25 and have been open each Thursday – Saturday since. Owner Georgia Caraway has refurbished the building formerly known as Mrs. Stocktons and Mrs. Chisums into a classic retro classy antique and vintage clothing store.
If the weather holds, many of Caraway’s friends from Denton will be in town for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
“I’m going to have 15-20 people from Denton and they’re really excited to come to Howe.” said Caraway. “After the ribbon-cutting is over, they’re going over to eat at Abby’s and come back here where I’ll have deserts and candy and things here.”
All afternoon, Caraway will have tea, coffee and desert available.
“This has been such a delight.” said Caraway. “This town has just embraced us. They come in the door and they say, ‘we’re so glad you’re here’ or ‘thank you for doing this for our town.’ For me, it’s like the town is doing it for me. It’s such a wonderful place and reminds me of my hometown.”
