What do a hotel monkey, Mississippi’s biggest cabbage, bootlegging, fish falling from the sky, and a mysterious search for one million frogs have in common? They all found their way into Mississippi newspapers!Join us for Dinner with Newspapers featuring special guest Tracy Carr on Tuesday, September 22 at 6:00 PM. We’ll explore strange, surprising, and entertaining stories from Mississippi’s newspaper past—and what those old articles and advertisements can tell us about the people who lived here.
And, of course, there’s dinner! The menu will feature classic Mississippi newspaper recipes, including comforting casseroles, vintage side dishes, and retro desserts straight from the recipe columns of the 1950s and ’60s.
