| We dust off those Shining Star awards, polish them brightly, for several who deserve special recognition.
Many people in Calhoun County and the area are community minded,
generous and dedicated. The Hur Herald staff would like to
recognize those individuals and groups for all they do. We ask our
readers to submit names of individuals or groups, along
with a brief description of why they are Shining Stars.
