JACKSON, MISS– Looking for something to do this weekend? From garden planning to art and and space jumps, plenty of options all over the Magnolia State.
The first stop is in Pass Christian for the annual Art in the Pass:
Anita Gianni, marketing director for Art in the Pass, says that there will be a silent auction at Art in the Pass, and all the proceeds of that auction will go to a scholarship fund for high schools seniors wishing to get a degree in art. Gianni says hundreds of vendors will have art for every price range. Painting, drawing and sculpting aren’t the only celebrated arts there this weekend. There will be a “Marine Cuisine” cooking demonstration with samples following the show. The event is Saturday and Sunday from 8am-5pm.

Christy Millbourne with MDOT says the event is not just about teaching safety, but making safety fun.
