            Ole Miss’s newest head football coach, Hugh Freeze will be making an appearance on the Catepillar North Stage on Saturday around 3:30.

            “My family and I have been traveling to Oxford to enjoy the Double Decker Arts Festival for many years. The town of Oxford is so inviting and seeing everyone on the square having fun is great,” stated Eliza Garraway, a Jackson native.

            Many stores located on the square have banners in the window supporting the Festival and offer special sales during Double Decker weekend. “The Festival is a great way for all the shops on the square to get great business. I love to see the square thriving during this time,” said Eliza.
