🌧️ Mother Nature has other plans for us this Saturday! Unfortunately, Family Fun Day at The Depot, scheduled for October 10, has been postponed due to the forecasted storm and strong winds.

While we’re sad to press pause on the fun, we’re hopeful we’ll have another opportunity to bring everyone together in the future! 💚💛💙

A HUGE thank you to our amazing nonprofit partners, generous sponsors, and everyone who planned to participate. Your support means so much to us, and we’re grateful to have you as part of our community! Keep watching our social media channels for updates as we hope to revisit this event in the future.

But the fun doesn’t stop here! 🌶️ Join us NEXT FRIDAY, October 16, for Tupelo Chili Fest at Fairpark as we keep the Fall Into Tupelo 2026 activities rolling! 🍂
