The Lauren Rogers Museum of Art was the site Thursday for the debut of Oak Street magazine, the newest product from the Laurel Leader-Call.
The 60-plus page magazine features local people and events, including Landrum’s Country Homestead & Village, Mitchell Farms and the Holiday Homes Tour. Other noteworthy stories in the first edition of Oak Street include a local goat milk soap maker, and a Mississippi sushi chef. The LRMA Gala is also featured, as well as Super Bowl party planning, New Year’s Day food and choosing the perfect wine for the holiday’s.
The Future Leaders of Jones County Class of 2008 were also introduced during the LRMA event and are included in Oak Street’s first edition.
“We are very pleased to bring this new feature to our community,” said LL-C publisher Chris Zimmerman.
Copies of the first edition of Oak Street may be picked up at the Leader-Call office on Beacon Street, while supplies last.
