There's good news to report this week on the Mississippi Gulf Coast economy. Gulf Coast Business Council research shows growing confidence. 85% of company owners and CEOs plan to either maintain current staffing levels or hire additional workers.

Hipsters across our region are going to be on the coast for one or several of these events.

Zydeco, Country, Swamp Pop, and Blues bands will be playing in the two day Swamp Boogie Blues Festival. Centered at the Hancock County Multi-purpose Arena in the Kiln the festival includes food and arts and crafts vendors. While you're shaking it on the big dance floor children can keep themselves active with face painting and space walking.
