We come to you from the intersection of state Highways 15 and 18; in one of the state's leading small cities, we are in the town of Bay Springs.

In the latter part of the 1800's Joe Blankenship founded sawmills in the dense, virgin forests of western Jasper County. At the turn of the century, Blankenship's son-in-law, L. L. Denson, through the Denson Trading Company, founded a village called "Bay Springs" the town was named for an artesian spring flowing from the trunk of a bay tree.

Supported by the sawmills, the community quickly became a trade center for western Jasper and eastern Smith County. Before 1918, Bay Springs obtained electrical and telephone service and soon thereafter an ice house, placing the town on the cutting edge of gracious living. Throughout the twentieth century, Bay Springs has continued to be a beautiful, thriving city, expanding in territory and population.

The spring flowing under this gazebo today is that same artesian spring that the city was named for over a hundred years ago. Since 1993 Bay Springs has been honored by the Mississippi Municipal League as one of the "Most Liveable Communities" in the state.

In our first story we take you to the state's only open-air jazz festival that just happens to be held in the town of Bay Springs. It's called Jazz in the Grove and the sounds are sure to please.
