Howard Happenings

YARD & BAKE SALE

Curtin United Methodist Church is having their “Beat the Winter Blues” yard and bake sale at the church located at 305 Curtin Village Road, Howard. The church is located near the Curtin Mansion and Ironworks property.

The sale will be on Friday, Feb. 26, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and again on Saturday, Feb. 27, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Call Larry at 814-355-9588 for info.

Please wear a mask and practice COVID safety procedures during the sale days.

KEEP YOUR TICKET

Tickets for the Gun Drawing at Walker Township Fire Company are on sale now.

The gun drawing was planned for Sept. 12, 2020 and the tickets have that date printed on them, but since the event had to be postponed because of the pandemic’s gathering restrictions you should keep your ticket as it will be honored for the new date.

The new event date is Saturday, March 20, and the drawing will be held virtually at 1 p.m. so you can check it out on the Walker Township Fire Company Facebook page. Tickets are $10 each and are still available from any fire company member. Call the fire station at 814-383-4538 for more info.

Please help to support your local fire department as each has been hit hard during this pandemic with their lack of fundraisers and hall rentals that provided funds to allow each fire company to provide their services to our communities.

WINTER FESTIVAL

The Howard Cub Scouts and Boy Scout Troop 353 are planning a Winter Festival on March 13. The festival is free and will be held at the park beside the post office in Howard beginning at 11 a.m.
