A radio show tauting the music and culture of the Pine Hills will be part of a celebration of regional tradition Nov. 8 at Walthall School near downtown Hattiesburg. The exhibit, developed by participants in the Community Scholars Field School at the University of Southern Mississippi during the summer 1996, has been on display in 10 different cities in south Mississippi since January. The fun begins at 6 p.m. when those in attendance will have a chance to examine the exhibit, watch crafts people at work and buy refreshments to enjoy on the grounds. From 7-9 p.m., the entertainment moves to the auditorium, where the stage will be set for taping a radio show featuring music from the Pine Hills region, and commentary about the lives and times of those who live there.
All activities are free and open to the public.
