This year (Feb 3) will mark the 30th Annual Wildlife Tasting Supper. This event has grown in…read morepopularity immensely for over a decade. My first time attending a dozen years ago there were a hundred or so people in attendance. Dishes offered were made from wild game with deer being the most widely used. My most recent visit was much different than my first. There were over 600 people and over 150 dishes entered. The creativity and meat choices were much more diverse, using squirrel, bear, wild boar, duck, wild turkey, caribou, trout and elk. No store bought dishes are allowed to enter the tasting to compete for the monetary prizes, which have increased. In the past there was a door fee of about $6.00 per adult and $5.00 for children. They have added the option of free admission with one wildlife dish in lieu of the increased $10.00 door fee. There is always a prayer said before the serving begins. There are raffles for bikes for the kids and rifles for youth and adults. There are so many people in attendance in recent years that you fellowship with strangers because you are usually packed in rather closely to them. This year there is another option for people not ready to taste the wild side. Rollin' Rumps BBQ Catering and Vending will cook barbecue and hot dogs.

The Northeast Regional Library serves the four Northeastern Mississippi counties of Alcorn,…read morePrentiss, Tippah, and Tishomingo. They are all different and unique in their own ways. The Alcorn staff are very stern and do not allow loud talking and are very firm when asking you to end your computer session. Whereas, Ripley staff let children run total butt-monkey-stupid-crazy and allow people to talk loudly on their phones and even let music play on their phones aloud without headphones. Established in 1951, the Northeast Regional Library is the second oldest regional library system in Mississippi. It is comprised of a headquarters library here in Corinth and twelve branches. Several larger branches including Corinth, Booneville, Iuka, and Ripley, have separate genealogy and local history collections that are available for in-house use. U.S. Census records on microfilm are available at several branch locations as are journals on genealogical research, passenger lists, and more. The upstairs of the Corinth Library is set aside for genealogy and I believe you still must be 18 years old to go upstairs. Through a grant provided by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, most branch libraries have one or more computers available for public use, Corinth has a half dozen minimum. All computers access the Internet and contain the Microsoft Office Professional suite of word processing and Power Point programs. Northeast Regional Library offer free wireless Internet access. The service is available 7 days per week, 24 hours per day. After hours the wireless connection is accessible from the libraries' parking lots and elsewhere on library grounds. The service is offered at Corinth, Booneville, Iuka, Ripley, Baldwyn, Belmont, Walnut, Blue Mountain and Burnsville Libraries. Meeting rooms of various sizes are available for use by the public in several branches of the Northeast Regional Library. Fund raising events which are held solely for the support of the library (such as Friends of the Library book sales) may be held in these rooms. Other events not benefiting the Library or charging admission can't be held at the Library. The sizes can vary from having the ability to hold from 50 to 100 people and they all offer kitchens or kitchenettes. Each summer, the Northeast Regional Library sponsors a Summer Library Program to encourage children to continue to read while they are out of school for the summer. 'Friends of the Library' support an individual library by holding book sales, hosting programs, and helping to publicize activities being held at the library. You can find many good books and even some very old books during these sales. I got 4 decades of National Geographic magazines, dating back to the 1960s for free, because they were taking up space the library needed for other purposes. All branches have music CDs, Movie DVDs and some locations have VHS tapes available for check out. Sometimes you can find entire full seasons of TV shows on DVD.

The experienced ones are more relaxed and even talk over and around you to other people. Annoying? Yes, definitely! Enough to stop my frugal ass from going back? Nope. You get ignored and talked over at the Salon inside Wal-Mart Supercenter and you're out $15.00 or more, plus you end up tipping them for ignoring you. The Wal-Mart Salon workers don't hesitate to acknowledge you when you get up to leave and try to sell you a $45.00 bottle of shampoo because they, "noticed you are a little dry while I was cutting your hair". I cut the BS out and go to the beauty college. I leave happy, non-pressured and am OK with tipping them and helping them to further their education.

The city is charging a mandatory tourism tax on all restaurant tabs. Corinth doesn't have any tourist attractions aside from Civil War and slugburgers (specialty burger made with soy filler and costs around $1.00). There are no theme parks, Starbuck's, water slides, wax museums or antique car collections. The grocery stores, although well stocked, lack in carrying high-quality food items. It is impossible to make homemade cheeses because all the heavy cream is ultra-pasteurized. I've lived here by choice and have witnessed it go through many changes and some were so subtle it's hard to recall what certain areas of the city looked like 20 years ago. With the current expansions and improvements (especially to the city park) it is hard to imagine how it could look in another 20 years.
