Construction kicked off in February for the addition of new restrooms, a catering area, and storage space for the POC Community Center Pavilion. The construction contractor is Lauger Companies, Inc. out of Victoria. We have been down a long road of planning, fundraising, grant submission, and solicitation of donations for this project, and many have been instrumental in making it a reality. We appreciate all who have made this much needed Pavilion expansion project a reality including: the POC Community Center Board of Directors, POC Chamber of Commerce, POC Community Service Club, Friends of the POC Library, individual donors, and groups who use the pavilion who have made sizeable donations. Construction should be completed before summer!!

Cheers erupted as they announced the winners Clay Brumfield, Zoey Conde, and Rylie Ragusin’s remarkable achievement at the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo. Competing against teams from across Texas, these talented individuals clinched 2nd place in the side dish category.

Their winning creation? A delectable beet salad, crafted ingeniously from a mystery ingredient: raw beets. What’s more impressive is that none of them, nor their supporters, had ever cooked with beets before!
“We couldn’t contain our excitement when Calhoun County 4-H was announced as the second-place winner!” exclaimed their parents. It’s a testament to their hard work and passion throughout the year.

Congratulations to Clay, Zoey, Rylie, and the entire Calhoun County community for this outstanding accomplishment. Your achievement has made us all incredibly proud! -Lea Ann Ragusin
