Good morning Tupelo! Today is Wednesday, January 8, 2020. It is the 8th day of the year. There are 358 days left in the year (don’t forget this is Leap Year!) and 70 days left of winter! Valentine’s Day is in 37 days, and Spring starts in 71 days.

HAPPENING TODAY

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

Miranda Lambert’s Little Red Wagon Tour is partnering with the Tupelo-Lee Humane Society to help them get what they need to take care of all those sweet animals! From now until January 10, 2020, you can bring donations to Steele’s Dive to be entered into a drawing for two free tickets. There will be two drawings held on January 10 for the January 16th concert, meaning that there will be two lucky winners who will receive a free pair of tickets EACH.

We 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, 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!

Join Chick-Fil-A for Breakfast and BINGO every Wednesday. Tell your parents or grandparents about it! Kids are also welcomed guests! All first time bingo guests may receive a free coffee!

There will be a short program to celebrate the 85th birthday of the King of Rock and Roll at the Elvis Presley Birthplace at 1 p.m.. Cupcakes and drinks will be served. All tickets are free, and the event will be livestreamed on Facebook Live.

She lives, writes, and raises hell on the outskirts of Tupelo in the small community of Nettleton.
