JUNETEENTH: Celebrating Freedom, Honoring History!

Juneteenth is more than a date — it’s a legacy of strength, hope, and the enduring symbol for justice. Today, we remember June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free from slavery — a full two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

As we commemorate this day, let’s not only celebrate freedom, but also uplift the voices, culture, and contributions in Booneville and surrounding areas.

Reflect on our past. Celebrate our present culture and progress. Stand for equality throughout our community. Commit to learning and growing together for a better Booneville and Prentiss County.

🌱✨ Grow @ The Depot is Thursday! 4-8pm✨🌱

Get ready—something fresh, vibrant, and full of life is coming to The Depot! Starting June 4th, we’re kicking off Grow @ The Depot—a welcoming space for growers, makers, and the entire community to come together and thrive. This week's features: The Kenneth Michael Band, Chicken Salad Chix and D'Lemonade or grab something to go from A6 and bring down to the picnic area. Also there will be a collaborative art project "The People In Your Neighborhood".

🎶 Thursdays at The Depot: Bring the whole family for something special! Enjoy hands-on workshops, live performances, and fun activities for kids of ALL AGES!

💚 Why it matters: Growers markets do more than offer fresh, local goods—they strengthen communities. They support small businesses, encourage healthier living, and create a place where neighbors connect. Events like Grow @ The Depot help build unity, spark creativity, and turn simple moments into lasting community traditions!

VENDOR INFORMATION
Grow @ The Depot focus is on supporting local and artisanal products that would include the following:

• Locally Grown: Products are typically required to be raised or grown on the vendor's own farm, greenhouse, or herd.

Value-Added Items: While jams, jellies, cheese, and baked goods are sold, they are expected to be produced by the vendor rather than commercially packaged, mass-produced items.

Artisanal Craft: Non-food items (arts, crafts, plants) are allowed at the market, but these are expected to be handcrafted rather than manufactured.

🌞 Come out this summer, support local, and grow with us at The Depot! Please call us at 662-728-5601 ext 9 or 662-416-9278 if you would like to participate in Grow @ The Depot.

Today is D-Day Remembrance Day... on June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched Operation Overlord — the massive amphibious invasion of N**i-occupied France along the beaches of Normandy. It became one of the largest and most consequential military operations of World War II, involving thousands of ships, aircraft, and ground troops across multiple nations.

The operation marked a turning point in the war in Europe, eventually leading to the liberation of Western Europe from N**i control. The fighting on the beaches — Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword — came at a heavy cost, with thousands of soldiers killed or wounded on the first day alone.

Today, D-Day is remembered not just as a military milestone, but as a moment defined by sacrifice, coordination, and courage from ordinary people placed in extraordinary circumstances.

It remains one of the most studied and honored events of the 20th century.

A day to remember those who never made it home.
