SUMMARY: The Jento Foundation is gearing up for its Fourth of July celebration, which runs from 9 AM to 3 PM. Founded in the 1960s to save a historic courthouse, the foundation has only renovated the building twice, the most recent being three years ago. It's the last Federal-style courthouse in Mississippi. This year's event will feature music all day, starting with the national anthem by Lisa Lambert B. Although it's not an election year, political candidates are welcome to speak between performances. New attractions include a car cruise-in and a kid's zone, with 41 vendors participating.

SUMMARY: Today was a fun day for fishing enthusiasts as the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks declared it a free fishing day, allowing fishing without a license in public waters. Many fishermen took advantage of this, with Ponto Lake being a popular spot. One attendee mentioned having no luck last week but hoped to catch more fish today. Tomorrow, however, a fishing license will be required, obtainable through the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks.
