A great big mural was painted at the Coast Model Railroad Museum by two local artists to add interest to the swamp train tour. It’s something kids of all ages will enjoy, and you can read about it in the Arts section.
If you don’t want to spend Thanksgiving in the kitchen, our Dining section is loaded with information about Casino Thanksgiving specials and carry-out turkey specials offered by several local businesses. That’s in addition to a story about the Rackhouse restaurant, Basil’s dining review and Julian Brunt’s foodie column.
Do you know about baseball great Dizzy Dean and his connection to Wiggins? In the Sports & Outdoors section, A.J. Giardina writes about this amazing Hall of Fame legend and how his memory lives on.
In the Leisure section there’s a nifty idea detailing how to make a decorative pumpkin stack that will set the Thanksgiving theme at your house.
The Gulfport Civic League’s tour of homes kicks off the holidays around here. We give you a sneak peek at the homes on the December 2 tour in our Home section.
The Fall Fashions special section features lots of fashions from local shops and boutiques along with stories about two young ladies making a name for themselves in the world of fashion.
And last but certainly not least, the Golden Years section addresses some of the issues facing seniors and salutes just a few of those who’re truly ‘living life to the fullest’ during these years.
