Fundraising challenges, rising costs cited for ending Mississippi in New York Picnic

Mississippi in New York Picnic canceled indefinitely

The New York Mississippi Society released a statement on their website announcing its decision to cancel the event.

It says:

“The 36 years of the Mississippi Picnics has been wonderful and a positive thing for all those involved but with the competition of funding sources and the rising costs and complexity of putting this event together, The New York Society regrets to announce that there are no plans for any future picnics.”
