We are gearing up to celebrate The Center for American Archeology 70th Anniversary this Saturday in Kampsville. It will be a fun educational day for the whole family.
St. Anslem’s Hall was packed Sunday afternoon as the Calhoun Entertainment Company presented their Jamboree. The laughter was plentiful and the music was great. Also some amazing musicians. They also had delicious homemade pies. We are always glad when the Calhoun Entertainment Company is in town.
The Raft Race in Hardin was great for the entire county. The weather was perfect. The vendors, the food, the entertainment and the fireworks all provided for a great community event where everyone could visit. Kids could play and in the Calhoun County all was right with the world. A huge shoutout of thanks for all the committee who worked so hard to put this together. Great job. I can’t wait till next year.
Congratulations to the Calhoun High School Trap Shooting Team on becoming National Champions.
