Anvil Shooting Festival
What’s interesting in Laurel,Mississippi in April? The all-time festival state: The Anvil Shooting Festival. It’s a bit bizarre, but for the people of Mississippi, it’s all fun!
The annual event at Laurel’s Wood Expo held every April dates back to the Civil War when the Yanks came through the South destroying all of the metal works. They’d put gun powder underneath the anvils and try to blow them up. And up they went, up in the air. Now, from this historical event, sprouts a bizarre festival that everyone loves and enjoys!
If you wish to join the event, the rules are simple. The anvils must be made of steel and weigh at least 100 lbs. Not more than 2 pounds of black powder can be used to blast that anvil in the air. There are two classes in the event, the Traditional and the Super Modified. In the Traditional class, shooters use real, antique anvils and shot the traditional way. Some anvils shot the traditional may reach heights up to 100 feet, but for some that’s not high enough, now that’s the Super-Modified category.
But here’s something you should know: No one has ever been crushed by a falling anvil and no one has ever lost an arm to the explosive blasts.
Don’t miss out on this explosive event when touring around the Deep South!

Australia World Youth Day
The World Youth Day is the largest youth event in the whole world, and this year the event will be held in Sydney from July 15 to July 20, 2008.

Young people throughout the world will make this pilgrimage to Australia with their faith to rediscover the beauty of the Gospel.
