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 />
