Junior Auxiliary of Vicksburg (JAV) teamed with Mississippi Artist H.C. Porter to produce our 2nd Annual Christmas Fundraising Ornament in 2009. This ornament was picked from Porter's original mixed media painting titled "Christmas Day." This piece was inspired from a little girl in Pascagoula, MS in December 2005, the First Christmas After Hurricane Katrina.
“In December, we made our way to Pascagoula in Jackson County. It was surreal seeing a cruise ship housing people who had lost their homes.
Christmas decorations stood where houses no longer did. This year the Christmas trees might be smaller, but Grace Marie’s spirit was as big
as ever.”
— Karole Sessums, Backyards & Beyond Project Director, from “Backyards & Beyond: Mississippians and Their Stories,” the exhibition
book featuring the 81 mixed media paintings by H.C. Porter and excerpts from the coinciding audio of the painting subjects.
Junior Auxiliary of Vicksburg (JAV) worked with Gail Pittman in 2008 to create
a unique, one of a kind Christmas ornament. Our 2008 Fundraising Ornament was designed to commemorate the Playground at Catfish Row
that was built by wonderful volunteers in our community.
