Change is inevitable in every part of life, but for one Fondren retailer, it’s what he lives for. Ron Chane is ready to undertake his 14th renovation in as many years this month, adding a men’s boutique and bike shop. He’ll also update his ever popular Soma/Wilai ladies boutique, skate and roller derby selections and Jackson tees. The project begins around January 15 with fresh paint, a rearrange and new brands in Soma. “We’re keeping it true to under $100”, Chane says, “and stepping up the accessories, candles, perfumes and such”.

Registration is now open for the Jackson Zoo’s new camp while school is out over the winter holidays.

The new winter Zoo Camp is Dec. 27-30 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Children ages 6 to 12 can sign up for one day or all four.

Camp includes zoo hikes, behind the scenes tours, up close animal encounters, games and more.
