Good morning Tupelo! Today is Friday, January 10, 2020. It is the 10th day of the year. There are 356 days left in the year (don’t forget this is Leap Year!) and 68 days left of winter! Valentine’s Day is in 35 days, and Spring starts in 69 days.

HAPPENING TODAY

Today in Tupelo, here are the things going on around town:

Don’t forget that the drawing is TODAY for the free tickets to the Miranda Lambert concert! There will be two drawings held today for the January 16th concert, meaning that there will be two lucky winners who will receive a free pair of tickets EACH. We’ll be live on Facebook some time later today for updates on those lucky winners!

If you have little ones, don’t miss Storytime at Reed’s Gumtree Bookstore at 10:30 a.m.

We still have a free family four-pack of tickets to see the Harlem Globetrotters at the Bancorpsouth Arena on January 13 to give away to our followers here at OurTupelo! As a bonus, these four tickets also come with Magic Passes! We’ll be running this promotion though January 11 — that’s tomorrow, people! — and announcing the winner at noon-ish on that day. Make sure to check out the pinned post on our Facebook page for details on how to win!

The Tupelo Flea Market is this weekend! It’ll be in Building 1 of the Tupelo Furniture Market. As always, the Tupelo Flea Market has free parking, and handicapped accessible spaces are available. Admission to the Flea Market is $1.00 per person. Children 5 and under are admitted free. Flea Market hours this weekend are as follows: Friday, from 8am until 9pm; Saturday, from 9am until 7pm; and Sunday, from 10am until 5pm.

Wear It Well, a local charity owned and operated by Katina Davis Holland, has been mobile, making it difficult for them to hold meetings, conduct classes, or transform cancer patients with makeover sessions, until now. The former home of Charles and Ruth Morris at 826 West Jefferson Street will now become a partner with Wear It Well allowing them to use the home as their permanent location. The grand opening for the charity will be at today at 1:00 pm. The public is invited to attend.

Hailing from the backwoods of north Mississippi, MyLove Barnett spent a decade tripping up the corporate ladder as an accountant before trading in her stilettos and pencil skirts for jeans and flip flops and the privilege of working for various platforms as a writer, editor, and content manager.Although she has an MBA and a BS in accounting, she's found her passion falls more in the creative arts of writing and graphic design. She lives, writes, and raises hell on the outskirts of Tupelo in the small community of Nettleton.
