World Homeless Day recognized in Jackson
SUMMARY: World Homelessness Day is marked by events aimed at addressing homelessness globally. At 16 WAPT, we partnered with Stewpot for their second annual Homeless Day Fair, focusing on solutions such as housing programs and drug intervention. The fair created opportunities for community members to access resources they might struggle to find otherwise. It also featured a mural honoring the late Jackson State University student Jalen Burns, who volunteered at the inaugural event, highlighting his contributions to the cause. This gathering emphasizes the importance of connecting disenfranchised individuals with essential support services in a unified setting.

SUMMARY: The Starkville Holiday Bazaar, an annual event running for 52 years, is set to take place next week at the Mill and MSU, featuring 100 vendors offering unique handmade gifts. Directed by Paige Watson of Starkville Main Street, the bazaar is a significant economic boost, generating over $100,000 in sales and attracting visitors from afar, including vendors from Virginia. The event is a fundraiser for the Main Street Association, supporting downtown beautification and economic development. This year, Bank Plus has joined as the event’s first-ever sponsor. Community participation is encouraged for a festive shopping experience.
Starkville is hosting a holiday bazaar on Nov. 20-21 at The Mill at Mississippi State University.
SUMMARY: Katherine Rea from Keep Tupelo Beautiful discusses a free tire disposal event in collaboration with Goodyear. The event will take place on Saturday at the Krueger International building on South Green Street, from 8 AM to 12 PM, allowing people to recycle old tires. Katherine highlights the environmental dangers of tire dumping, including mosquito breeding. She also mentions a volunteer effort where over 150 tires were collected in Tupelo. Additionally, a daffodil bulb sale will be held on Saturday from 2 to 4 PM at Building Blocks to encourage planting for the spring season.
Keep Tupelo Beautiful is hosting multiple events.
SUMMARY: At the University of Southern Mississippi, freshmen are required to live on campus, a mandate that some students find inconvenient due to financial concerns. Freshman Gabrielle Cox expressed frustration, arguing that students living nearby should have the option to commute without incurring extra costs. While some students dislike the requirement, others, like a fellow USM student, feel positively about the experience but acknowledge that it can lead to social challenges. Many freshmen find it difficult to make friends, leading to feelings of loneliness for those who struggle to connect with others in the dorm environment.
