Congratulations Mayor Amanda Johnson and to our newly elected Board of Trustees Terry Hausmann, Stephanie Angel, Billy Agney, Gary Smith and Dillon Kuhlman.
St. John’s Egg Hunt was a huge success and a great time was had by all. Thank you to everyone who donated to keep this long standing tradition going strong.
I hope everyone had a great Easter.
Marcia Agney at Calhoun Country Christmas had a fun “just stop in and hunt eggs” event. Easter buckets were sitting outside and kids could just stop and find some eggs anytime of the day.

I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Darren Kress. Darren was always a friendly guy with a big smile. He fought cancer these last years with such a brave fight. Sympathy to his wife, Tammy; son, Jake; his parents, Steve and Suzie Kress; his brother, Adam; sister, Stephanie; and the Hayn family. Please keep them all in your prayers and continue prayers for Bob Banghart, Joyce Blumenberg, Kurt Roth, Jerry Crader, Kathryn Chapman, Linda Herkert, Cassie Blackwell, Raymond Sievers, Isabel McGlaughin and Connor Gilman.
