Local Woman Shocked To Discover Tupelo’s Bonfire Orchestra Is Neither Bonfire Nor Orchestra

Local Woman Shocked To Discover Tupelo’s Bonfire Orchestra Is Neither Bonfire Nor Orchestra

TUPELO – A local woman claims that when she accepted a Facebook invite to see The Bonfire Orchestra, the last thing she expected to see was The Bonfire Orchestra.

“I showed up to Steele’s Dive and there was a band playing,” says Pam Pierce of Guntown.

The Bonfire Orchestra is a Tupelo-based band, a favorite among many locals. The band’s frontman Michael Thomas remembers the incident.

“I remember her. She seemed to be enjoying herself, but she kept checking her watch and looking around like she was confused.”

Thomas says that he’s not sure what she expected.

“I’m not sure what I expected,” says Pierce. “I guess I thought there’d be an orchestra playing around a bonfire, or an orchestra surrounded by fire, or something. Like an elegant yet rustic celebration of the arrival of Fall. I never expected to be pleasantly serenaded with soulful, energetic covers of some of my favorite songs by a local band with a fun, albeit misleading name.”

Thomas says he understands the confusion.

“This happens sometimes with bands. It’s exactly how Barenaked Ladies ended up with such a large male fan base.”

Pierce says she is excited for another upcoming event she saw on Facebook.

“I just accepted an invite called Spunk Monkeys. I love monkeys. They’re so spunky! I’m so excited to get to see some without having to go to the zoo.”

The 3rd Annual OurTupelo Christmas Light Map

For the last 2 years, we’ve offered up an editable Google Map where anyone can add Christmas Light Displays they find in the area to better help us all take those amazing light tours with the kids (or just ourselves) and see some of the creative, amazing, and fun setups. Well here we go again.

We’ve started it off, and will be adding more sites during the next few days. But don’t wait on us, if you see something, pull this link up on your phone and add a point of interest.

Editing the map is a bit more tricky on Mobile devices than on a desktop, but here are the basic instructions. It may vary a bit with your phone’s OS.

First, you have to open the map in a web browser like Chrome or Safari. To do this, first you have to open the map in your browser by clicking the OPEN IN BROWSER icon on the far right top. That should open it in your browser, but may also attempt to open it in Google Maps. Pull the browser back up. Click on the name of the map (at the bottom) and it will pull up the map legend, giving you an option to edit. Choose edit and then hit the PIN/ADD LOCATION button at the top. Click where you want to add it, and name the place. Boom, (at last) you are done.

Merry Light Hunting everyone!

I’m Dreaming of an Awesome Christmas!

Receive $25 Amazon Card for Donating Blood Today!

Donors to receive $25 Amazon Gift Card

TUPELO, MS — From Vitalant:

The holidays are officially in full swing and Vitalant wants to celebrate with you the wonder that blood donations can bring many families this holiday season. Your donation is needed to help in emergency situations or even routine surgeries.

All blood types are needed, especially type O and platelet donations.

Vitalant is asking donors to donate now to ensure that blood is ready to serve patients when it is needed. This time of year, blood donations decrease by over 20 percent — while blood usage goes up due to increased travel and other accidents.

Vitalant relies on donors to donate regularly, especially during the holiday season when your donation is vital. Blood is needed every 2 seconds in the United States and the need stays constant, regardless of any holiday.

To ensure an ample blood supply, Vitalant is encouraging donors to skip the shopping lines and save lives with us.

Patients like Jaziel relied on donors during his cancer treatment. “My childhood was interrupted by cancer for six long, extremely emotional years,” Jaziel said. “I can say I always knew I wasn’t alone thanks to my generous blood donors.” Blood donors ensure patients like Jaziel are able to continue fighting and can make more memories with their friends and family.

When you donate with Vitalant at the donation center — located at 4326 South Eason Boulevard in Tupelo — any time from November 29-December 15, you’ll receive a $25 Amazon gift card through our online rewards store.

To find a Vitalant donation center visit vitalant.org or call 877-25VITAL.

Blood donation takes about an hour from check-in to refreshments. Donors can save about 20 minutes by completing their Fast Track Health History the day they donate. It’s at vitalant.org.

Volunteer blood donors must be at least 16 years old, weigh at least 110 pounds and be in good health. Additional height/weight requirements apply to donors 22 and younger, and donors who are 16 and 17 must have signed permission from a parent or guardian.

Tupelo Downtown NYE Street Party!

Via Mayor Jason Shelton in The Daily Journal:

“The year 2020 is the sesquicentennial of Tupelo’s founding which was on July 20, 1870. An easier way to say that is Tupelo’s 150th birthday is in 2020 and we are going to celebrate the occasion with many wonderful events throughout the year. Next year will also mark what would have been Elvis Presley’s 85th birthday. We will shake, rattle and roll more than ever as we welcome people from all over the world to celebrate the life, legacy, and music of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.

The New Year’s Eve celebration will feature two live music stages featuring a diverse lineup of incredible bands, special children-friendly events, a Toyota Corolla giveaway, fireworks, and a ball drop to coincide with the countdown to ring in the New Year. There will be something for everyone and we hope that you will join us here in Downtown on that magical evening. There is also a special New Year’s ticketed concert at the Elvis Presley Birthplace and a limited ticket event at the privately held Silver Moon Club which will attract guests from all over the country.

The downtown restaurants and other businesses will be part of the celebration and each will add their own unique twist to the evening. With your help, the success of this inaugural event will lead to this becoming an annual event for the City of Tupelo.”

January 1, 2020, marks the dawning of a new decade and we are starting a new tradition of revelry in Tupelo, Mississippi.

What In The Cat (Chicken) Hair?!

What In The Cat (Chicken) Hair?!

Friends, as my Granny Turner used to say, “What in the cat hair is going on?!”

What is this world coming to?

And I’m not talking about current events in the news!

I’m talking about trying to find a whole chicken to cook!

Pam needed one to make her dressing, so we tear out to town late last nite. She needed a few other things, too — a hundred dollars’ worth, but who’s counting.

Don’t know why I had to go. I was enjoying the quiet after the kids left!

But, I do as I’m told and ride shotgun! (Which ain’t a bad thing to have in your car, the way people drive and act, but that’s another story!)

One store didn’t have any, so we go to another! Didn’t see one there, either, so I saw the butcher guy — you know the one in the white apron, that look like he just field dressed a deer — and I ask him.

He said, “No, we don’t have whole chickens! Got chicken strips, chicken fingers, chicken nuggets, chicken tenderloin, chicken legs, chicken thighs, chicken necks, chicken breast, chicken beaks, and chicken toenails — but don’t have any whole chickens!

Then he said, “Wait, I got chicken halves! I can sew you two of them together, and you can call it a whole chicken!”

I didn’t care for that remark, so I said, “No thanks! When my wife wants a whole chicken to make her famous Walton family recipe chicken and dressing, then that’s what she’ll get!”

He just laughed and said, “Good Luck, that’s a rare bird!”

Well, I’m hard headed and I know where some whole chickens are!

So we head down there at John Barry’s barn!

“Pam hold the light still! No, John Barry ain’t going to catch us! He’s asleep! Quit waving that flashlight around, you gonna scare ’em all off the roost! Yes this one will do fine! Hold the sack open! And No I ain’t climbing back up there just because that one looks fatter! That’s a hoot-owl anyway!”

And life goes on, on Thompson Hill.
