Parade
Saturday, 1/24, 1pm
Route:  Country Club to the water tower and back. To clarify, it will not be on the south side

When you start mixing pets and costumes, you understand how patient dogs are - and how goofy their human companions can be.  This inaugural event should be a hoot if it's anything like the famed Barkus one in New Orleans.  Better yet, proceeds go to Gulf Coast animal shelters.

Opening of "Surrender,"
a collaborative art show

Smith & Lens Gallery
106 South Second Street
Bay St. Louis
6pm - 9pm

Artistic dynamos Ann Madden and Sandy Maggio are kicking off the opening of their new gallery Smith and Lens with an innovative collaborative show. 

"Artists will bring a piece of their art ready for the touch from someone else's hand to the gallery January 9th. They'll take a piece of someone else's art home, complete it, prepare it to hang in the show and voila, "Surrender" is born."  The work that comes out of the exchange - and the opening - should be lots of fun!
