A Festival That Gives Back
The Calhoun County Community Foundation was established in 2019 to help Calhoun County’s rural communities following Hurricane Michael’s devastation on October 10, 2018.
The nonprofit returns funds raised to the community to benefit residents, encourage community pride and promote all that Calhoun County offers.
