🐾 Happy National Dog Day from Meridian! 🐾

There's no better way to celebrate than a walk or hike with your best pal at Bonita Lakes — shaded trails, fresh air, and plenty of room to explore together. Follow it up with a little picnic by the lake, and you've got the perfect dog day in Meridian!

Bring your pup, hit the trail, and see why Meridian is a town worth wagging your tail for. 🐶✨

Three Southern songwriters. One room. The songs, stories, and places that shaped them.

Hosted by Drew Young and featuring Cary Hudson of Blue Mountain and Shelby Kemp of Royal Horses, Back Roads & Back Stories is an intimate evening of live music and conversation presented in a songwriter-in-the-round format.

Hear the stories behind the songs and discover how the back roads, small towns, hard seasons, and second chances of the South find their way into music. Free and open to the public.
