The Mississippi Afterburner was originally the last weekend in May, which was the weekend after Memorial day. After a time, the calendar rolled around where Memorial Day became the last weekend of May. We did not want to have our event on Memorial Day weekend, so we moved it up to the week before Mem. Day. Last year Mem. Day moved up a week, so we moved Miss. A/B back to the last weekend in May. In 2004 Mem. Day moves back to the last weekend, so we will have the event May 22-23. We won't have the last weekend again until 2008. Is this clear as mud or what! Any way you look at it, Miss. A/B has always been in the last half of May, not the first half.
