About this Event

You won't want to miss the great program that has been planned for you this year! We are excited to be conducting the Mississippi LAMP tour in September at the following locations and notice that this year we had to flip the order of cities, because of scheduling conflicts:

Monday, Sep. 8, 2025: Petal Civic Center in Petal, MS

Tuesday, Sep. 9, 2025: Clyde Muse Center, Hinds Community College - Rankin Campus in Pearl, MS

Wednesday, Sep. 10, 2025: Oxford Conference Center in Oxford, MS
