The Calhoun High School band playing "Jingle Bells" and the arrival of Santa Claus on a fire truck, among the highlights. A dwindling number of children showed up to receive the treats supplied by the Grantsville Lions Club. THE CHRISTMAS PARADE Councilwoman Erin Barnhart recalled the parade once had sports teams, twirling groups, bands and floats, saying "Each year the parade entries seem to dwindle," although this year's effort rose to the occasion. One of the best efforts was the hospitality of the Calhoun Historical Society's open doors, good food and displays. WINDOW DECOR WINNERS Calhoun Historical Society windows win 1st Place 1952 Arnoldsburg community quilt with names and donations (as little as 50 cents) a fundraiser for the the Baptist church J&B Drug, 2nd place winner Tony Morgan, attorney (left) was honorable mention; Calhoun Sr. Center 3rd place
