Good morning, Tupelo and beyond! Today is Saturday, March 14th which makes it Pi Day! What better way to spend a Saturday at home than to bake a pie or two or three? And if you’re not the pie-making type, we’ve still got a few happenings in and around Tupelo today that haven’t been canceled due to Coronavirus.
“Love is like pi – natural, irrational, and very important.”

Check back each day for a new quote to help get you through your day. Now, onto other news and happenings.
We’re just 5 short days away from the first day of spring! After enjoying a brief dip to a low of 1.2 yesterday, the pollen count rises back to a medium-high of 7.5 which makes it a better day for allergy sufferers to spend the day catching up on their favorite shows than to work in the garden.
Let’s take a look at what’s happening today in your neck of the woods! (Please keep in mind that these events are subject to cancellation and we will keep you updated as that information is made available.)
