Sound the Alarm (Tupelo, MS)
2019-05-11 09:00 - 14:00
Join the American Red Cross to Sound the Alarm, a home fire safety and smoke alarm installation event.
On May 4 and May 11, the American Red Cross needs your help to install 100,000 free smoke alarms and raise funds for lifesaving services during Sound the Alarm home fire safety and smoke alarm installation events.
Every day, seven people die in home fires and the Red Cross wants to do everything we can to prevent these needless tragedies.
Volunteers work alongside fire departments and other local groups, canvassing at-risk neighborhoods to install free smoke alarms, replace batteries in existing alarms, educate families about fire prevention and safety, and fundraise for this lifesaving mission.
One day of your life can change someone else’s forever. Join us to Sound the Alarm. Save a Life.
To volunteer visit, https://rdcrss.org/2OGyCpB or go to soundthealarm.org/mississippi.
OUR CAMPAIGN TO #ENDHOMEFIRES – Sound the Alarm events are part of the Home Fire Campaign, which the Red Cross launched in 2014 to reduce fire deaths and injuries. So far, it has reached more than 1.7 million people and saved more than 520 lives nationwide. In the Mississippi Region, seven lives have been saved. Last fiscal year, Mississippi Red Cross volunteers and local partners:
•Installed more than 6,300 free smoke alarms
•Made more than 2,400 households safer through education talks
•Reached roughly 3,500 children through youth preparedness programs
The Red Cross urges all households to test their smoke alarms and replace alarm batteries if needed.
Sound the Alarm is made possible thanks to generous financial donations from regional sponsors. The 2019 regional sponsors are Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi, Trustmark, Toyota Mississippi, State Farm, and Eaton.

Art Demo with Peyton Hutchinson at the Caron Gallery
2019-05-11 09:00 - 14:00 | The Caron Gallery, 126 West Main Street, Tupelo, MS, 38804, US
Join us during Gumtree Festival weekend at the Caron Gallery for an art demo with Peyton Hutchinson from 9AM-2PM!
Peyton says, “I am Peyton Hutchinson, an artist who loves color! Growing up in Mississippi instilled in me a love of the outdoors, and the beauty and drama of nature continue to be my greatest creative inspiration. As a painter, my greatest challenge is to try to depict all of the gorgeous colors of the landscape. Therefore, I consider myself a colorist of contemporary landscapes.
I graduated from the University of Mississippi with a bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting and also studies at the Rhode Island School of Design. During college, I ventured to the Marchutz School of Art in Aix en Provence, France where I fell madly in love with painting natural landscapes plein air. That’s also where I discovered my new best friend, the palette knife!
I live and work from my studio in Madison, Mississippi with my husband, Burney, our three children and two pups. Locally, I have studied with renowned artists Jere Allen, Greg Cartmell, and Bob Tompkins. I also studied impressionism with Italian artist Jerry Fresia, and Californian artist Camille Prezwodek.” Peyton Paintings
