The Green Bay Packers Give Back

The Howard-Suamico Historical Society held its semi-annual used book sale on Friday April 24th and Saturday April 25th. The sale was set up in the barn and under the big tent at Ancestry Acres, 12787 Velp Avenue. Our customers had a good selection with over 300 boxes of books to choose from. All of the books are collected throughout the year at Kimps Ace Hardware in Howard and at the Suamico Village Hall.
All proceeds from the sale will be used to support projects sponsored by the Society.
