Bo Diddley to receive prestigious home town honors
Saturday, 20. October 2007 - 12:22

We are delighted to be able to inform you that BO DIDDLEY is to be honored with a marker on 
the Mississippi Blues Trail during his native McComb, MS 2-day Camellia City Festival, November 2nd-3rd, 
making his first public appearance since suffering a series of ailments earlier in the year.

The first day of the Festival will feature a bus tour at 9.00am that will show off McComb's historic sites 
and attractions, including BO DIDDLEY's childhood home and the renovated State Theater, as well as 
newer facilities such as the McComb Sports Park and the McComb Tiger Activity Complex. 
The Blues Marker unveiling will follow the tour.

Tickets for the bus tour are $15 and limited to the first 50 people. The cost also includes reserved seating 
for the Blues Marker unveiling and brunch following the ceremony. Call 684-8664 for info. 
The public is invited to the ceremony, which is free. After that, live music will begin at 
the Depot Pavilion at 12.30pm, although BO DIDDLEY is not expected to perform.

On November 3rd, the Festival continues at the walking track areas at Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center. 
The Festival coincides with McComb High School's homecoming and the school district is partnering 
with the City in putting on the Festival.

The City of McComb will also present BO DIDDLEY with a proclamation and City officials are asking 
the State Senate and House of Representatives to introduce a similar measure.

Mayor Zachary Patterson today (Wednesday) declared the upcoming event a grand opportunity to showcase McComb and 
southwest Mississippi as well as celebrate the life and time of BO DIDDLEY.

The Mississippi Blues Trail, created by the Mississippi Blues Commission, is a project 
to place blues interpretive markers at the most notable historical sites related to the growth of the blues 
throughout the State of Mississippi.
