Lots of Super Bowl fun in Kampsville on Sunday. The Landing, Dicks Riverside and The Legion all had specials and good fun with customers coming out to cheer on their favorite team. It was an awesome game that had everyone on the edge of their seats, or pacing the floor, or standing in front of the TV yelling. When it comes to a Super Bowl, this is exactly how a game should be.
The Legion has begun their search again for their Queen, to get in on the hunt on Friday nights and enjoy some delicious Virginia Becker desserts.
Mayor Amanda Johnson reached out to me for me to share with everyone an update on the water situation. We still have a leak that they have been unable to detect. We are currently under precautionary boil order until further notice. But all tests on the water have been good.
It was another great week to be a Warrior! The sixth grade Warriors took second place in the St. John’s Tournament. Trey Neinke, Brody Eilerman, and Selby Pohlman were chosen to the all-tournament team. Congratulations boys.
Our Lady Warriors seniors were honored on Thursday night at their game against Carrollton. Seniors are Scarlet Brangenberg, Kourtney Herkert, Jaelyn Hill and Haley Schnelten.
The eighth grade Warrior basketball team headed to the State Tournament in Kankakee on Friday evening to play against Decatur Robinson in the Elite Eight. Although the game didn’t have the outcome we were hoping for, our boys played hard and made Calhoun proud. After arriving in Hardin, they were driven around town on the Firetruck. Great job boys, you made the whole community proud.
The weather has permitted and McCully Heritage Project was busy cooking maple syrup this past Saturday.

We were very saddened in our village Sunday morning on the sudden passing of Betty Grissom. Betty was such a wonderful lady, always pleasant and very talented with making quilts. Please keep her husband, Rich “Wolf,” in your prayers as well as her kids, grandkids and siblings.
