(Brian Montgomery) Dakota Presley, Executive Director of the Main Street Chamber of Leake County, joined Brian “B-MO” Montgomery on B-MO in the Morning to preview one of the region’s most anticipated spring events—Pickin’ 35—and to share a heartfelt message of gratitude and community support.
During the interview, Presley discussed this weekend’s Pickin’ 35, a multi-county event that stretches along Highway 35 and brings together vendors, yard sales, food, and local businesses for a weekend of shopping and community connection. The event continues to grow in popularity, drawing visitors from across Mississippi and beyond in search of antiques, handmade goods, and unique roadside finds. She emphasized the economic and community impact Pickin’ 35 has on Leake County and surrounding areas, noting that events like this help shine a spotlight on small towns and local entrepreneurs.
Presley also took time on-air to thank Boswell Media for its continued support and promotion of local events, saying their partnership plays a key role in helping initiatives like Pickin’ 35 succeed and grow each year. In a more somber moment, she shared thoughts and prayers for neighboring Attala County following recent tragedies, highlighting the strength and unity of the local community during difficult times.
