Always one to promote my website whenever possible, I've just finished a new and improved version of our travel and tourism site, NatchezMS.com. The look is cleaner, more organized, and with a few new pages.
The reason I bring up our site is because Natchez, Mississippi is open for business and I want to get that message out there. Hurricane Gustav blew down a lot of trees and cut a lot of electricity - the Natchez Democrat reports several thousand still without power - but the downtown area survived just fine, electricity and other utilities are being restored at record speed.
And just in time, as things start getting exciting around here in short order.
The Louisiana State BBQ Championship/Jim Bowie Festival kicks up the last weekend of September over in Vidalia, just across the river from us. Fall Pilgrimage starts up September 27 with two weeks of historic home touring and evening entertainment. We get just a weeks respite, then the Great Mississippi River Balloon Race gives us a weekend of fantastic music and hot air balloon competition. The balloon race is always the third weekend of October, making this one Oct. 17 - 19.
By the way, make your reservations now. Hotels and B&B's regularly fill up for all these events.
So there's my plug for Natchez again. The lights are on. Come see us!
