      <title>Exhibition: Giants of the Ice Age MS Museum of Natural Science (31 Jan 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Experience 12 full-sized, scientifically accurate robotic Ice Age animals - breathing, roaring, gnashing teeth, turning their gaze, waving their tails, and bringing the Ice Age to life.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;At this indoor and outdoor exhibit, you will:&lt;span style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul style="font-size: 18px;"&gt;
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Stand beneath a towering Woolly Mammoth and face off with the ferocious Short-faced Bear&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Meet ancient icons like the Dire Wolf, Terror Bird, and Woolly Rhinoceros&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Marvel at the colossal Gigantopithecus, the largest primate to ever live&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Encounter the curious Macrauchenia, the armored Glyptodon, and the towering Irish Elk&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Discover how Ice Age creatures survived extreme conditions - and what led to their extinction&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

  &lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Engage with colorful displays, videos, and hands-on learning stations that make ancient life come alive&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p style="font-size: 18px; line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: transparent;"&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;"Thanks to the generosity of our donors and members, we’re able to help bring exciting, interactive exhibits like Giants of the Ice Age to Mississippi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;font face="Georgia"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;Supporting the Museum through membership and giving means making a direct impact on families, education, and conservation right here at home,” says MMNSF Executive Directo&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;r Susan Frazier.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;font face="Times New Roman, serif" style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>The Attala County Garden Club · New Stage Theatre (7 Apr 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://newstagetheatre.com/explore/the-attala-county-garden-club/" target="_blank"&gt;The Attala County Garden Club&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Steel Magnolias meets Get Out&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“He (Payne) knows how to create sharp, wild comedy that resonates with depth and timeliness, and he’s done it again here.”– ARTS ATL&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 1987 Mississippi, Rose Chipley’s social ambitions are crushed when she’s rejected by the elite City Garden Club. But just as all hope seems lost, a quirky invitation from the eccentric Bettye Little-Landrum offers a tantalizing alternative—the Attala County Garden Club. What begins as a charming escape soon takes a decidedly darker turn as Rose stumbles upon the club’s mysterious, moonlit gardening rituals. Beneath the petals and pruned hedges, a web of secrets begins to bloom, and Rose soon realizes that the garden club’s members might not just be cultivating flowers… but something far more dangerous. The Attala County Garden Club is a bewitching comedy where the stakes are higher than you’d expect, and the soil is thick with secrets. Recommended for ages 16+.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Belhaven Spring Cleanup Day · Belhaven Town Center (11 Apr 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Our Neighborhood Cleanup Days occur twice a year, one in the Fall and one in the Spring. These are community-wide events dedicated to improving the aesthetics and beauty of our neighborhood. These Cleanup Day bring together neighbors, businesses, and community supporters for a collective effort to clean streets, public spaces, and yards throughout Greater Belhaven.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This initiative spans the entire neighborhood footprint, from Riverside Drive to High Street, and from I-55 North to State Street. Volunteers enjoy the opportunity to meet new neighbors, improve their property values, and often, a free Fertile Ground beer to wrap up the day!&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://msorchestra.com/event/bravo-5-mighty-keys/" target="_blank"&gt;Mississippi Symphony Orchestra Bravo 5: Mighty Keys&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pianist Alon Goldstein, an MSO audience favorite, is back in the solo spotlight, supplying all the drama, passion and expressive verve that Brahms’ Piano Concerto No. 1 demands. Everything is kicked up a notch in this concerto, and Goldstein meets this monumental moment head-on. Lt. Kijé Suite, Prokofiev’s first film score, delivers the biting humor that made it his best-known and most-frequently recorded work.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“He (Payne) knows how to create sharp, wild comedy that resonates with depth and timeliness, and he’s done it again here.”– ARTS ATL&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 1987 Mississippi, Rose Chipley’s social ambitions are crushed when she’s rejected by the elite City Garden Club. But just as all hope seems lost, a quirky invitation from the eccentric Bettye Little-Landrum offers a tantalizing alternative—the Attala County Garden Club. What begins as a charming escape soon takes a decidedly darker turn as Rose stumbles upon the club’s mysterious, moonlit gardening rituals. Beneath the petals and pruned hedges, a web of secrets begins to bloom, and Rose soon realizes that the garden club’s members might not just be cultivating flowers… but something far more dangerous. The Attala County Garden Club is a bewitching comedy where the stakes are higher than you’d expect, and the soil is thick with secrets. Recommended for ages 16+.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>The New Creation Choral Arts · Belhaven University, Center for the Arts (14 Apr 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Experience The New Creation, a concert of sacred music presenting excerpts from The Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom by contemporary composer Kurt Sander. Composed in the Church Slavonic tradition, this work stands as a living expression of liturgical art—not merely preserving the past, but actively participating in the mystery of the Kingdom of God breaking into the present. Rooted in the Church’s ancient worship, Sander’s music engages the heart, mind, and body of the believer, becoming a vessel that reveals and points to the Church’s incarnational vision— proclaiming, in the words of the prophet Isaiah, “God is with us.”&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Free Admission, Doors Open at 6:30pm&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>Art for the Park 2026 (16 Apr 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#000000" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;The Belhaven Garden Club and the Greater Belhaven Foundation are gearing up for the cherished biannual event, Art for the Park. The event will be April 16th from 6:30-8:30 at the Fairview Inn.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#000000" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;Art for the Park 2024 raised over $17,000 for our neighborhood parks. These funds were used to support the installation of the Keith Haring Fitness Court and Connector Trail at Belhaven Heights Park, and maintenance and playground installation at Laurel Street Park. This year, we are turning our attention to the beloved Belhaven Park. In the early 2000s, Belhaven Park was invisible and at worst, an eyesore rather than a park worthy of its name and location. It was unloved for more than 30 years and became a magnet for trash, weeds, illegal dumping and undesirable behaviors.&amp;nbsp; A group of people, led by Greater Belhaven Foundation Executive Director Virgi Lindsay, came together in 2006 to change the destiny of Belhaven Park. Neighborhood residents and businesses rallied to support the effort because they knew that the park must be saved in order to improve, protect and enhance the neighborhood. Great care was given to the design of the park so that it would fit seamlessly within the Belhaven Historic District and a Certificate of Appropriateness was granted from the Historic Preservation Commission for the project. Improvements included doubling the size of the original park footprint by purchasing an overgrown adjacent parcel as well as the addition of attractive fencing, interior and exterior walkways, landscaping, benches and decorative lighting, all at a cost of almost half a million dollars. Today the restored park, which bridges commercial and residential properties, is enjoyed by residents and people who work at area businesses, hospitals, colleges and other organizations nearby for picnics and games, walking, jogging and strolling, or music and theatre performances.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#000000" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;Twenty years later, it is time for the Foundation to once again turn its attention to this important green space. At the retirement party of former councilwoman, Virgi Lindsay, it was announced that GBF would begin a fundraising campaign to completely revise the current stage at Belhaven Park into a state of the art public amenity named in honor of our former Director. To that end, we have raised almost half of what we need to erect this fantastic improvement to Belhaven Park. The funds raised from this year’s Art for the Park will go directly towards the remaining project costs for the Virgi Lindsay Stage at Belhaven Park.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="line-height: 22px;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-size: 15px;" color="#000000" face="Calibri, sans-serif"&gt;Greater Belhaven is becoming a beacon for outdoor enthusiasts across the country and is expanding its commitment to being a healthy and vibrant place to live. Your sponsorship dollars help turn this commitment into a reality and your generosity ensures our parks and green spaces are around for many generations to come. We hope that you consider sponsoring Art for the Park which in turn preserves these Greater Belhaven retreats. We thank you in advance for your consideration!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“He (Payne) knows how to create sharp, wild comedy that resonates with depth and timeliness, and he’s done it again here.”– ARTS ATL&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In 1987 Mississippi, Rose Chipley’s social ambitions are crushed when she’s rejected by the elite City Garden Club. But just as all hope seems lost, a quirky invitation from the eccentric Bettye Little-Landrum offers a tantalizing alternative—the Attala County Garden Club. What begins as a charming escape soon takes a decidedly darker turn as Rose stumbles upon the club’s mysterious, moonlit gardening rituals. Beneath the petals and pruned hedges, a web of secrets begins to bloom, and Rose soon realizes that the garden club’s members might not just be cultivating flowers… but something far more dangerous. The Attala County Garden Club is a bewitching comedy where the stakes are higher than you’d expect, and the soil is thick with secrets. Recommended for ages 16+.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The Attala County Garden Club is a bewitching comedy where the stakes are higher than you’d expect, and the soil is thick with secrets. Recommended for ages 16+.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Super-lympics · MS Children’s Museum (2 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Step inside MCM’s SUPER-lympic Village for a competition consisting of hands-on, educational games promoting both physical and mental health! The day will kick off with our Opening Ceremony, followed by &lt;a href="https://mschildrensmuseum.org/annual_events/super-lympics/" target="_blank"&gt;MCM’s SUPER-lympic Games&lt;/a&gt;, where children will focus on three priorities: physical activity, healthy eating, and social/emotional health.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For young children, these physical activities will improve fine and gross motor skills, spatial awareness, and agility, while older children will have the opportunity to increase their flexibility, aerobic fitness, and muscle strength. To encourage healthy eating, children and caregivers can engage in hands-on activities in the garden surrounding healthy foods, how they grow in the garden, and how they taste. Programming components such as emotional regulation and character building will also be woven into activities throughout the event. The games will wrap up with a Closing Ceremony, where all participants will receive a medal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;THROUGH THIS EVENT, MCM STRIVES TO:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Inspire children and families to implement easy, healthy lifestyle habits through fun, educational activities focusing on the benefits and importance of physical and mental health.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enhance accessibility and engagement between families and local healthcare providers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Empower children and families with the knowledge and resources necessary to live a healthy lifestyle.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>Historic Preservation Commission Meetings (6 May 2026)</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://jacksonms.gov/historic-preservation/" target="_blank"&gt;Historic Preservation Commission Meetings&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Historic preservation plays a vital role in maintaining Jackson’s unique character. It ensures that new construction and rehabilitation projects are compatible with existing neighborhood styles and quality standards. The Historic Preservation Ordinance was first adopted in 1988 and has been amended over time to guide:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rehabilitation of historic structures&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;New development within historic districts&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Alterations to cultural, architectural, and archaeological properties&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Protection of local and state landmarks, as well as sites listed on the National Register of Historic Properties&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Local historic districts were created with the agreement of property owners, recognizing the long-term benefits to their communities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;Book by Terrence McNally; Music by Stephen Flaherty; Lyrics by Lynn Ahrens.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;Based on the novel “Ragtime” by E. L. Doctorow&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;May 26-30, June 2, 4-6, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;"&gt;May 31 &amp;amp; June 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="margin-top: 0px !important;"&gt;Classic American Musical&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Subscription Show&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One nation. Many dreams. A musical that moves the soul.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“A dazzling, heart-stirring masterpiece. Ragtime delivers a powerful, timeless message that resonates long after the curtain falls.”— The New York Times&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s the dawn of the 20th century, and New York City is alive with change, innovation, and the vibrant rhythms of ragtime. This Tony Award-winning musical brings to life the intertwining stories of three families—a white, upper-middle-class family in New Rochelle, an African-American musician and his girlfriend in Harlem, and a Jewish immigrant and his daughter on the Lower East Side. Their journeys are shaped by the towering figures of the era, including the daring Harry Houdini, the visionary Booker T. Washington, the powerful J.P. Morgan, and the industrial titan Henry Ford. As their lives cross paths, Ragtime delves into issues of race, class, identity, and the American Dream, delivering a stirring, intimate production that speaks as profoundly to today’s world as it did a century ago. Recommended for ages 12+.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;“A dazzling, heart-stirring masterpiece. Ragtime delivers a powerful, timeless message that resonates long after the curtain falls.”— The New York Times&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It’s the dawn of the 20th century, and New York City is alive with change, innovation, and the vibrant rhythms of ragtime. This Tony Award-winning musical brings to life the intertwining stories of three families—a white, upper-middle-class family in New Rochelle, an African-American musician and his girlfriend in Harlem, and a Jewish immigrant and his daughter on the Lower East Side. Their journeys are shaped by the towering figures of the era, including the daring Harry Houdini, the visionary Booker T. Washington, the powerful J.P. Morgan, and the industrial titan Henry Ford. As their lives cross paths, Ragtime delves into issues of race, class, identity, and the American Dream, delivering a stirring, intimate production that speaks as profoundly to today’s world as it did a century ago. Recommended for ages 12+.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Rehabilitation of historic structures&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;New development within historic districts&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Alterations to cultural, architectural, and archaeological properties&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Protection of local and state landmarks, as well as sites listed on the National Register of Historic Properties&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Local historic districts were created with the agreement of property owners, recognizing the long-term benefits to their communities.&lt;/p&gt;
