HATS OFF TO WOOD FESTIVAL FOLKS! - It Was A Really Good Year

(06/11/2002)

By Bob Weaver The Calhoun County Wood Festival has had its ups and downs over the years, volunteers coming and going to put on the event. Sometimes it has been doubtful if there would be another festival. This 40th year was a pleasant surprise, to enjoy an upsurge in the event. The officers, board of directors and committee chairpersons did an admirable job putting the event together. It was what a community festival should be about, an array of events from the traditional parade and carnival, to wood chopping, volleyball, car show, archery, paint ball - and some really outstanding entertainment on the Main Street Stage. Heartwood in the Hills always adds a great touch on the event. One community group, which most are hoping will stay in tact, "Calhoun Choral Reflections" was outstanding, but so were the rest of the entertainers. What a gratifying experience to lull the time away listening to these folks in front of the courthouse. Having multiple events at Wayne Underwood Field gave new life to the festival. HATS OFF! to this years festival workers. President, Shannon Davis; vice-president Kim Church; secretary, Karen Shreve and treasurer, Sue Oshoway. Board of Directors, Shannon Davis, Sue Oshoway, Hays Haymaker, Shirley Hupp, Kim Church, Angie Hersman, Shelia Garretson, Silver Marks, Karen Shreve, Jim Garretson and Jerry Collins. Of course, we have left out, not intentionally, several other individuals (like MegaZound) who gave time and energy to this years event.
