Friends, families, and coworkers can team up for a lively route filled with finish line cheers and inspiring smiles from those who have overcome heart challenges. Participants can also start a personal fundraiser to support this mission. Expect an uplifting atmosphere, plenty of encouragement, and a great reason to get your heart pumping.

A family-friendly pottery workshop at the City of Biloxi Ceramics Center on the campus of the Ohr O'Keefe Museum focuses on creating a Halloween-themed cat wind chime.

Projects will be ready for pickup in approximately two to three weeks. Instruction is provided by Lara Blanchard, and no prior experience is needed. This class is designed for ages 10 and up. Children under 16 must attend with a parent or guardian who also registers. Refunds, less credit card fees, are available up to seven days before the class begins. After that period the fee is nonrefundable, but tickets can be transferred to a friend.
