The Ugly Sweater and/or Tie Day was originated by my Chief Deputy, Clarri Atkinson. It began with just the idea of my office and the Auditor’s office getting into the spirit and doing something that sounded like fun. We then talked and thought how cool would it be to include all County employees. We had it put on the agenda and it was approved on November 24th to have the first Annual Calhoun County Ugly Sweater Day on December 23, 2015.

After that the spirit of Christmas seemed to grow and we then decided to have a morning of punch and cookies for the public in the Courthouse Lobby. That too being December 23, 2015 from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon. How festive for the public to come in see all the employees walking around in their Christmas sweaters – enjoy the “new” beautiful Christmas tree (that was bought and paid for by donations of employees) and have goodies to boot! Thought it was time to give just a little something back to the community for their continued support.
