The Calhoun County 4-H Teen Leaders held their annual basket bingo on Saturday, April 1st, in the Commons Area of Calhoun Middle High School. The bingo included 25 games, an "early bird drawing" for a special basket, door prizes, and four raffles. The Grantsville Lions Club called the bingo.

The Teen Leaders would like to say a special thank you to Tammy Nichols for setting up our basket display; Kathy Conley for her basket assistance; Jeff Houchin, Leslie Bailey, and Chris McKown for their work before and after the bingo; Nancy Bremar, Sandy McCumbers, Kenny Sampson, and Phil Kisner for working the concession stand; and to the following businesses and individuals that sponsored our baskets:

The 4-H Teen Leaders club allows older 4-Her's the opportunity to develop practical leadership skills. Locally, the 4-H Teen Leaders assist with county activities such as the county wide 4-H Halloween Party and 4-H Up All Night. Teen Leaders also assist in planning county 4-H camp and often serve as instructors for classes and crafts taught at camp.
