Sunday Screening: The Last American House Party

August 24 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Join us for a screening of The Last American House Party at 2 p.m. Sunday, August 24, in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium of the Two Mississippi Museums. This sixty-minute film follows the Neshoba County Fair, an eight-day, 100-year-old tradition where families and communities come together for food and entertainment. Following the screening, a panel discussion will take place with director Bryan Carpenter and Brad Ogletree, whose family owns a cabin at the Neshoba County Fair and who appears in the film. The panel discussion will be moderated by Larry Morrissey of the Mississippi Arts Commission who has recorded oral histories of several cabin owners.
