David Howie of Saab, Inc. to Speak at First Hot Stove of 2026

It's that time of year again, when we fire up the proverbial Hot Stove. Hot Stove is a great excuse to get out for a couple of hours on a Thursday night and visit with other community members while hearing all sorts of interesting and entertaining speakers. Hot Stove is a free event that happens every other Thursday night at 6:00PM from January 29 to April 23 in the Lovells Township Hall at 8405 Twin Bridge Rd (1/4 mile north of CR612).

Our first speaker of 2026 on January 29 will be David Howie from Saab, Inc. David will tell us all about Saab's new assembly plant in Grayling including just what they will be producing here. He'll also be talking about the almost 100 new jobs they are creating here and how you can stay abreast of employment opportunities with Saab, Inc. Saab serves a global market with products and services from military defense to civil security and they are one of the first significant new employers in the Grayling area in some time.

David will also be answering all your questions so it's a great chance to learn everything you want to know about this new presence in Northern Michigan straight from the horse's mouth. Please join us at Lovells Township Hall, we'll have the coffee pot warmed up and you can feel free to bring your own refreshments to enjoy or some snacks to share with others. Check our website for more information or email us at info@lovellshistory.org. Hot Stove is open to the public and free to all.
