Trolley a Hit at Renaissance Open House
 The Fondren Express is known for adding a special touch to many area events throughout the year, and last Thursday, we added another, hopefully regular charter to our list: Renaissance at Colony Park's holiday open house. We were on hand to provide transportation and entertainment for those who enjoyed the 5-8pm event in Ridgeland. Many riders said they were on board simply to see what the trolley was all about while others rode to get a break from the cold wind. We enjoyed being a part of this fabulous event that featured Santa at Barnes and Noble, strolling Charles Dickens carolers, and sales and special offers at many of the shopping destination's retailers. Renaissance at Colony Park is also a faithful regular customer of another aspect of the Fondren Express: our creative services department!

Last Chance for Two Great Holiday Events
Peter
& the Wolf with the Nutcracker Sweets Dec 9 - Dec 11. The
complex but stunning style of this presentation allows complete

stage with a real-life narrator to create a feel of a big-screen
animated cartoon. The seasonal finale with Tchaikovsky's favorite
melodies from "Nutcracker" will please everyone. Show times
are 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. Belhaven College Center for the Arts. $6;
$5 for groups of 10 or more.
Old
Tyme Christmas Village Dec 3 - Dec 11. The Mississippi Heritage
Center is decorated for an old-fashioned Mississippi Christmas.
Admire the handmade, miniature Christmas village by Lester Alvis,
featuring lights and early 1900's-era buildings. Agriculture and
Forestry Museum. $5 adults; $4 seniors; $3 ages 5-18; $1 ages 3-4.
