“We have lived our entire lives in Calhoun County. We have seen the good and the bad, the fun and the not-so fun. We have seen what has been, some of what could have been, and now look forward to a bright future for our county. We have seen people come and people go. We have been fortunate to have known some of the best people in the world with all this we believe there is no better place in the world we know to live than Calhoun County.”
