Good morning, Jackson.

The Fondren Renaissance Foundation hosted its 5th annual garden tour last Saturday, featuring tours of 18 gardens and an artist market while raising nearly $40K to support neighborhood revitalization.

On Saturday at LeFleur’s Bluff State Park, hundreds gathered for CARA’s 17th Dog Days of Summer to raise funds for a local pet shelter.

Proceeds covered daily food and medical costs while a pet parade, silent auction, and children’s activities promoted pet adoption (an effort to ease shelter overcrowding).

The mayor honored civil rights icon James Meredith by awarding him the Key to the City — he proclaimed June 25 as James Meredith Day to celebrate his legacy.
