Question of the Day
VICKSBURG, Miss. (AP) - Soon, motorists will see “Welcome to Vicksburg” signs along Interstate 20.
The city’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen last week cleared the way for the creation and installation of the signs by approving a $49,768 contract with Atwood Fence Co. of Kosciusko to make the 10-foot-by-20-foot signs. Crews will install them at the westbound Clay Street and eastbound Halls Ferry exits on Interstate 20.
Sam Andrews, Mayor George Flaggs Jr.’s chief of staff, said the installation date will depend on when the signs are completed, The Vicksburg Post reported.

MDOT District Engineer Kelly Castleberry explained why deer are on the move during this time and when you can usually spot them.
