Summer in Natchez

It is almost July and that means fireworks. The City of Natchez hosts the annual firework over the Mississippi River. Also on the 4th weekend is the annual Blessing of the Flotilla on Lake St. John in nearby Ferriday, LA

One of the premier events in Natchez is the Food and Wine Festival held this year on July 29, 30, 31. It us a weekend of unique food, wine, and entertainment held at different venues throughout the City.

Summer time is probably the slowest time of the year for activities, but things will begin to heat up in Sept. Look for my blog in Sept. for further information on the fall activities.

We are very proud of the June 2011 edition of Kiplinger. Mississippi has been listed as the 2nd most tax friendly state for retirees following only Wyoming, but I would have to say unless you like snow, our climate is much more preferable.
