Nothing since the WSOY Community Food Drive last October ( http://picturedecatur.blogspot.com/2014/10/1-day-1-million-pounds.html ) has united the Decatur and Macon County community like the Kraft Hockeyville USA contest did this Spring. And although Decatur finished in 2nd place, we have absolutely nothing to be sad about.  Our community is strong.  Hold your heads high, Decatur.  We'll come back at them harder and stronger next year!

Keep those votes coming, Decatur! WE GOT THIS!!

This afternoon, it was announced that Decatur has reached the championship round of the 2015 Kraft Hockeyville USA contest. This is HUGE for the hockey kids of Decatur folks.  If/when Decatur wins, it'll mean $150,000 for sorely-needed facility upgrades at the Civic Center. Starting this Monday (April 27), and running for 3 days, Decatur needs your vote!  Details on how to vote are below.
