Interview: Juneteenth freedom fund banquet set for June 16 in Starkville
SUMMARY: Starkville, Mississippi, alongside Tupelo, is celebrating Juneteenth with diverse events. Yolanda Hade, president of the Oktibbeha County NAACP, detailed the festivities, which start Friday with a music festival featuring jazz, blues, and country genres. Focused on diversity, freedom, and equity, the celebration aims to bridge community gaps and promote inclusivity. Highlights include a Saturday morning 5K run, NAACP’s annual Freedom Fund Banquet with notable speakers, and strong collaboration with Mississippi State University (MSU). Hade emphasized the importance of youth involvement in preserving and understanding the legacy of Juneteenth.
The event will take place on June 16 at the Starkville Sportsplex.
SUMMARY: The weather forecast for the upcoming days predicts mild temperatures with some rain. Today will be sunny and cool with highs around 62°F and a low near 35°F. Christmas Eve will be mostly sunny with highs around 66°F, but rain is expected on Christmas Day, starting around noon and continuing into the evening with a high of 69°F. The weather will remain mild through the weekend, with more rain likely on Friday and Saturday. After that, temperatures will cool, with a dry, cold start to January and a possible shift to colder conditions. A white Christmas is unlikely.

SUMMARY: Walker Mim, a Mississippi high school baseball player, faced a life-altering Hodgkin’s Lymphoma diagnosis. Concerned about his son’s unusual throwing motion, Walker’s father prompted an MRI that revealed cancer instead of a shoulder injury. Despite the harsh treatments, Walker remained resilient. Make A Wish Mississippi granted him a wish to attend the World Series, marking a symbol of hope as he completed his treatment. Supported by his family and community, who wore “Walker Strong” bracelets, he found strength in his faith, particularly through Philippians 4:13. Thankfully, Walker is now feeling well and embracing life again.

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.
