Blind Side Star Comes to Howell Thursday

On the big screen Quinton Aaron played a hulking offensive lineman alongside Sandra Bullock in The Blind Side. On Thursday people in our area will get a chance to see a different side of this Hollywood star.

After speaking to students during the day at Howell High School Aaron will be hosting a town hall meeting at 6:30 in the same building. Both events will focus on his foundation that carries his name. Aaron is on a 45-day anti bullying tour around the country and Howell was chosen as one of his locations. He is also scheduled to be at Howell’s homecoming football game on Friday night.

The rain held off on Wednesday but Thursday looks to be a wet one with a chance of coastal flooding closer to the ocean. The high for the day is expected to be around 64 with close to three quarters of an inch of rain expected to fall during the day. Thursday night the low is expected to be around 56 with just as much if not more rain expected to fall.

If you need a sweet treat to break up the dreary weather then it is a good time to enjoy National Angel Food Cake Day.

On this date in 1845 the US Naval Academy opened in Maryland and in 1966 the Beach Boys released the song Good Vibrations. Famous birthdays today include driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. and musician David Lee Roth.
