Melon season kicks off in the community this weekend with the Howell Melon Social.

Organizers said “This isn’t your typical fancy gala; it’s a fun-filled summer party with great food, live music, raffles, desserts, and plenty of laughs with friends and neighbors. Good food, good music, good people, and the perfect way to celebrate the start of Melon Season — we can’t wait to party with you at the Howell Melon Social!”

Tickets are $65 per person. The event runs from 6 to 10pm at the Howell Opera House.

The event features Twilight Tunes Dueling Pianos. C.C.’s Catering will be serving roast beef & gravy, boneless chicken breast, lasagna, oven-roasted potatoes, green beans, and more. There will also be desserts from a local bakery.

Also being announced will be this year’s Melon Court – “a group of individuals who are true pillars of our community and help make Howell such a special place”.
