Although pop soul artist Caleb Minter is not in Hardeman County today, it is, and always will be Caleb Minter Day on July 1. The special day became official in July 2022, when former Hardeman County Mayor Jimmy Sain proclaimed July 1 as Caleb Minter Day!

Caleb, who is currently touring in London, United Kingdom, took a moment on Facebook to express his appreciation for the love and support from the community over the years. He also had a special message for those following their dreams.

“Don’t stop dreaming! . . . If you have a purpose. If you have a dream, go for it. Don’t be afraid. God will always see you through it . . . ,” said Caleb.
