School on Monday: Biloxi Public Schools, which had planned to have no classes on Monday in observance of Columbus Day, will instead conduct classes at their usual times. The holiday was canceled in order to make up for the Isaac interruption to the school calendar.

A correction: The Biloxi First roast of Butch Oustalet is on Tuesday, Oct. 30, not a Thursday as reported in a Bmail yesterday. Regardless, you can read about the event by click here.
