Columbus, MS – (The Dispatch)
From this Thursday through Halloween night, the annual CPD Haunted House will put on its show for visitors of all ages. It is located in the old Tax Office building at 405 2nd Ave N., behind Zachary’s. Local LEO’s and volunteers from Lowe’s have been working hard to turn the old abandoned building into a place of true horrors. The haunted house has been in service for many a Halloween season, and the money raised will go toward Toys for Tots. This is the first year that it will be open for this many days, due to traditionally high customer demand.
The haunted house hours will be 6PM to Midnight each night, and guides will take small groups through. Adult admission is only $10, and kids get in for $5. It will be up to parental discretion whether or not to bring their younger kids inside.

Roughly a hundred MSU student volunteers recently joined forces to pack and ship five thousand meals to be sent out to hungry families in Mississippi and beyond, as part of a project to help raise awareness of food insecurity.The Oxfam Hunger Banquet model was used for their pre-work meal, where students were divided up into several groups meant to proportionally represent various “income levels” and what families at those levels might find themselves eating. The smallest group by far – those randomly chosen as the “high income” group, sat down at the tables for a multi-course meal with real plates and silverware; the largest two groups – the “low income” ones, sat on the floor with paper plates, plastic forks, a mound of mashed potatoes – and precious little else. Students reportedly ate relatively little, many of them never having previously known just how bad many families in need really have it.
