Tuesday morning's roundup follows local notices published Monday after the previous edition. The pantry stops and festival are scheduled events, not completed activities. Sources were checked Tuesday morning, Oct. 6. Times are Central.
Tippah County: Mobile pantry listed for Ripley on Friday
The Mid-South Food Bank's mobile pantry is scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 9, at St. James COGIC, 719 Ashland Road in Ripley, according to a Tippah News report posted Monday night. The food bank says its mobile pantry schedule can change through last-minute additions or cancellations. Check its schedule before traveling; the public page reviewed Tuesday morning still displayed the prior week's dates.
Alcorn County: Corinth distribution reported for Saturday
An Alcorn County News notice published Monday lists a Mid-South Food Bank mobile distribution for 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 10, at Church of the Crossroad, 2037 Highway 72 East in Corinth. This is a planned stop, and the food bank's schedule-change guidance applies here too. Check for an updated listing before going.
Union County: Heritage festival announced for New Albany
The Mississippi Hills Heritage and Folklife Festival is planned for Saturday, Oct. 24, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in New Albany, Union County News reported Monday. Its report says Dr. Michael Megelsh will demonstrate blacksmithing. The story does not give a street address, so readers should check the organizer's event information before attending.
Prentiss and Benton counties
No additional meaningful, verified county-specific development was found since Monday evening's roundup. The earlier Prentiss County scam warning and Benton County firefighter-training report have no confirmed new detail to add.
