Ole Miss Bookstore to Host Summer Saturday Events

Ole Miss Bookstore’s cafe

Looking for something fun and festive to do on your lazy summer Saturdays?

The Ole Miss Bookstore is hosting four themed events starting July 11 that will feature free games, costume contests, snacks and prizes for all ages. Each event will take place from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

“We really had fun with our Harry Potter Book Night, and these summer parties should be just as good,” said Theresa Hannah, Trade Supervisor of the Ole Miss Bookstore. “It’s always great when a community comes together to celebrate a common interest.”

RSVPs are appreciated, but not necessary. For more information on the summer Saturday events, contact Hannah at 915-7137 or email umtrade@olemiss.edu.
