Also featured is singer, writer and entertainer Babs Wood of Copiah County, known for her years performing at the world-famous Pat O’Brien’s Piano Lounge in New Orleans.

The evening will feature live and silent auction items for a variety of budgets, just in time for holiday gift-giving and decorating. Guests will have an opportunity also to take a chance and get a bargain on great items in the drawings, too.
