The buffet lines are filled with an<br />

incredible array of delicious food, desserts<br />

and drinks. With many amazing local<br />

retailers participating, 75 models will be<br />

strutting their stuff in all of the latest<br />

fashions. The fashion merchandising<br />

department, including faculty and students<br />

at Hinds Community College, choreograph<br />

the entire production. This event counts as<br />

twenty percent of the student’s grade for<br />

the semester. Each merchant emcees their<br />

segment and awesome door prizes are<br />

given away in between retailers. The<br />

participating retailers set up vendor spaces<br />

and shopping is available both before and<br />

after the fashion show! It is truly the best<br />

Girls’ Night Out event anywhere around!<br />

September means one thing in the city<br />

of Pearl—high school football. The Pearl<br />

Pirates and the Park Place Christian<br />

Academy Crusaders leave it all out on the<br />

field as they play their hearts out for their<br />

school and their many loyal fans.<br />

The Pearl Chamber of Commerce holds<br />

the annual two-flight golf tournament in<br />

October of every year at the Pearl<br />

Municipal Golf Course. It is a lot of fun and<br />

all the golfers receive nice door prizes and<br />

a great lunch for participating.<br />

Halloween is also is a fun time. Pearl<br />

Parks & Recreation hosts a Fall Fest event<br />

that is free for all of the kiddos and includes<br />

inflatable jumpers where tons of businesses<br />

and churches set up with games and<br />

plenty of candy and other fun activities.<br />
