Area residents have a chance to meet their new U.S. Senator-elect before he heads to D.C.

COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – It’s not every day you get to meet your U.S. Senator, but folks in North Mississippi will have that chance this Saturday in Columbus.

Senator-elect Scott Colom is hosting a big bash before he heads to D.C..

The Cookout With Colom will be a chance for area residents to meet and talk to their in-coming Senator.

It’s also a chance for Colom to give back to the voters who helped put him over the top in the election.

The Cookout promises to be an afternoon full of family fun. There will be food and activities for the kids.

But it’s also an opportunity to witness history.

“You know, in all of this, we can say it’s a great day! It’s a great day for Mississippi. This is history for Mississippi, and if people just come out and show their support, just come out, I think Senator Colom just wants to say ‘thank you’ for what has been done. It’s a great day!”

The Cookout With Colom will be Saturday from one PM until six PM at the Hitching Lot Farmers’ Market in Columbus, and the public is invited to attend.
