Yesterday I was updating a client of mine from Mississippi (who saw my ActiveRain blog on Mississippi Credit Repair and subsequently hired me)! First thing we did was to obtain a copy of her credit profile. This woman had 39 derogatory items on the three credit bureaus. I took her on as a client. Today, 120 days later, she is down to 11 items with Trans Union, 13 with Experian, and 11 with Equifax. We are not even done with her yet! We are continuing to work on correcting her credit. I should mention that we also helped her to establish 3 new pieces of revolving credit!

Thanks to the powers of the internet and specifically the powers of the ActiveRain Blog, this woman is on her way to rebuilding her financial future!

Rankin County's 29^th Annual Muscadine Jubilee is set to kick off this Saturday with good times, good food, good tunes and, of course, the Grape Stomp. The all day even, held in Pelahatchie's Muscadine Park promises a full day of fun in the perfect backdrop of small-town Mississippi charm. Therefore, we thought it important to share this information in our blog for locals and visitors so no one will miss this great event.

The Muscadine Jubilee kicks off at 10:00 a.m. with a traditional opening ceremony. Other events begin at 10:30 a.m. Musician lineup is said to include Kali Russell, Dave's Highway, Jeff Maddox, Crossin' Dixon and Neil McCoy.

Along with good music, there will also be arts and crafts booths and many games for children. Other fun activities will include a petting zoo, pony rides, inflatables, train rides and games.

Rankin County, Mississippi politicians will go toe-to-toe at noon in the traditional Grape Stomp competition. The one who makes the most grape juice by stomping a bucket of grapes barefoot will win an engraved wine cooler.

The Grape Stomp lineup will include Congressman Gregg Harper, Transportation Commissioner Dick Hall, Tax Assessor John Sullivan and State Representative Mark Baker, which sounds like an interesting combination of politicians. This just might turn out to be the most popular event of the day to attend.

The best part about the event is that it's affordable for the entire family. Children 6 and younger get in for free and everyone else gets in for only $2. The expected turnout for the event is between 3,000 and 4,000 people, making it a great opportunity to get out and meet new people.

Flowood Corner Bakery Deli will open for business Monday, April 20.

A reader requested a list of stores that has leased space at Market Street, so I put on my sleuth's cap and headed for the mall. Among the stores already open for business are J.C. Penney's, DSW Shoes, Bed Bath and Beyond, MiGis, and Dick's Sporting Goods. But the yummiest store slated to open is sure to be the Corner Bakery Deli.

When I stopped by today, the staff was in training. They graciously offered a menu so I could see what delicious foods would be served. Although I was NOT able to procure a pre-opening snack, I was successful in scoring the opening date.

Corner Bakery Deli will be open 6:30 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. They serve paninis, salads, and breakfast items.

Flowood Market Street is growing. Michael's is hiring and will soon join the list of new store openings. Many of the smaller spaces are still available for lease.

The City of Brandon held their Annual Easter Egg Hunt Thursday evening at Shiloh Park. Hundreds of children came to the ball fields to race for the colorful eggs and to jump in the giant inflatables. Four ball fields contained over 2000 eggs each to accommodate the excited children. The well-organized hunt enabled the younger children to collect eggs in their own age category while the older children played until their turn on adjoining fields.

Several lucky participants grabbed the "prize" eggs and received special Easter baskets filled with stuffed animals, candy, and other treats.

Although many cities held their hunts earlier in the season, Flowood's Winners Circle Park will host an Easter Egg hunt Saturday afternoon from 3-5 p.m.

Hope you have an EGG~cellent Easter!
