October 2008 - Gopher Hill Festival
Main Street, Ridgeland
Prior to the 1890's, Ridgeland was known as Gopher Hill due to the abundance of

species, is held annually the first week in October. The event features an outdoor
concert, food booths, arts and crafts, parade, dance, kiddie rides and the ever-popular
Turtle Race. All events are held in the newly revitalized Main Street District.
