The Chamber is coordinating a chartered hunting trip called the “Big River Valley Hunt” set to take place January 6 – 8, 2011 in Calhoun County. This will be the second year of the hunt, which was a huge success last year.

Several Chamber members have been gracious enough to donate hunting land for the weekend, as well as to serve as guides. There are two- and three-day packages available.

This event will not only offer prime hunting for those visiting Calhoun County, but also highlight some of our natural resources and tourist attractions.

A Big River Valley Hunt would serve as a wonderful Christmas gift for a loved one, or as a gift of appreciation for an existing or prospective client!
