Current Events

Looking through the paper for things to do this weekend yielded some interesting options.

"And You Thought There Was No Culture In Mississippi":

• Second Saturday Art Walk in Bay St. Louis
• Biloxi Theatre Presents "A Raisin in The Sun"
• The International Ballet Competition takes place once every four years in Mississippi (no, this is not a joke), at Thalia Mara Hall in downtown Jackson, and some of the best in ballet from around the world compete.

If you'd rather do something outdoors, you can select from:

• Educational Tours at the MS Sandhill Crane National Wildlife Refuge
• Gulf Coast Garden and Patio Show
• Magnolia State Volkssport Club Volksmarch

For all you sports fans:

• Sea Wolves ice hockey game (vs. Pensacola)
• Stock Car Racing at the South Mississippi Speedway
• Gulf Coast Winter Classics Horse Show

"You Know There's Jus' No Culturin' Some Folks":

• The Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi presents "Rockin' the Cage--MMA featuring BUTTERBEAN!" For all the uninitiated (including me), MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts--kind of the Kung Fu version of World Wrestling Federation. But a guy called Butterbean??? The name doesn't exactly leave opponents quaking in fear...
