Hattiesburg is THE place to be in June for Festival South! Quoting from the program, "FestivalSouth is a division of The Hattiesburg Concert Association (HCA). The mission of HCA is to present high-caliber and diverse artistic and cultural events that enrich, engage and educate our community and state . . . ." They definitely fulfilled their mission.

| Program of Events |
Many events were live-streamed in addition to being in-person. I especially enjoyed the art exhibit featuring Andrea Kostyal's paintings and Allen Chen's pottery, Night at the Opera, Impromptu Trio, singing with the Meistersingers with Dan Forrest's moving compositions. There were morning coffee concerts, a Broadway night, International Ballet Competition, other music programs as well as events for children. These events were especially enjoyable after 15 months of missing live performances due to COVID.
My quilt guild, Pine Belt Quilters, resumed in-person meetings at our June meeting. Show and Tell was a real treat when people got to share the quilts they had finished during this 15-month period we could not meet.
What's growing? Hostas, cherry tomatoes, coleus, hydrangeas. My hostas have put on beautiful blooms.
