Stuff The Bus Coming to Howell Friday

A look at events happening in and around Howell on Friday August 16, 2013.

The past few days have spoiled us with clear forecasts and no rain on the horizon. The National Weather Services is reporting there is a chance that could change for the next few days but not until tomorrow.

Regardless of the weather tonight figures to be a big one for the Howell PAL Theater Company takes their show on the road to the Two Rivers Theater Company in Red Bank. There the young Howell thespians will perform their version of the Broadway smash hit Grease. The show starts at 7:30 p.m.
