SUMMARY: This week, dozens of children are participating in a special summer camp at Camp Shelby, exclusive to the children of National Guard soldiers and Airmen. The camp, known as Kids AT Annual Training, offers a unique blend of traditional camp activities like swimming and arts and crafts, along with military experiences such as riding in tanks and using weapon simulators. The initiative, now in its 32nd year, helps kids develop an appreciation for their parents’ military roles. Campers, ages 9 to 12, gain hands-on experience with military vehicles and weapons under the guidance of Mississippi’s 155th Armored Brigade Combat Team. Graduation is on Saturday.

120 campers, from 9-12 years of age, are participating in the Mississippi National Guard’s Kid’s AT (Annual Training) at Camp Shelby this week.

SUMMARY: Local shoppers in Tupelo are hopeful for a Target store after years of anticipation. Target filed plans in September for a store in the Barnes Crossing area near North Gloster Street and Interstate 22. The Tupelo City Council recently approved an agreement to incentivize the retailer, including infrastructure improvements to alleviate traffic. While some community members express excitement about the shopping options, Target has not confirmed its plans for Tupelo, as its future store openings do not currently include the city. Despite recent mixed earnings reports, company officials remain optimistic about their long-term prospects.

The City of Tupelo is now playing the waiting game for a possible Target store.
