Each Tuesday in June, artisans from the Craftsmen’s Guild of Mississippi will be on hand to demonstrate their talents from 4 to 6 p.m. in the hotel great room (located at 120 Dyess Road in Ridgeland, Miss.). Mediums featured will include pottery, woodcarving, glass beads, weaving and spinning, fused glass and quilting. The focus of the June 16 event will be glass, and attendees will see the art of cutting pieces of glass and fusing them together to make one piece, which may or may not represent a pattern.
The partners and staff of MMI Hotel Group gave much thought to the renovations of both Cabot Lodge Jackson North, as well as Cabot Lodge Millsaps to do their part to protect the environment and conserve the Earth’s natural resources. Commitments include low-flow toilets to conserve water, energy-efficient lighting, double-paned and tinted windows, and the use of post-consumer paper goods to conserve natural resources. In addition, they added amenities that entice the business and leisure traveler and provide comfort and convenience. For example, they worked with a local millwork shop to produce custom wood pieces, updated the over-sized furnishings in the great room to create a place where guests can relax while having drinks, and built the largest on-site hotel gym in the area, which overlooks the quaint courtyard.
“We’re very proud of the strides we’ve made, and we encourage everyone to come out to one of our events and see what we have to offer,” Sturdivant said.
The grand re-opening celebration, also a part of the Summer Arts Series, will take place June 23 from 4 to 6 p.m. For more information about any of the events, please call 601.957.0757 or email lcarpenter@mmiemail.com.
As the passion of two native Mississippians, Earle Jones and Mike Sturdivant, Cabot Lodge Jackson North opened in 1985. Their goal has always been to provide unique features to guests, and above all, great quality at a low price.
MMI is comprised of two distinct, yet fully interdependent and complementing divisions: MMI Hotel Group and MMI Dining Systems. Together, the two divisions own, manage or serve over 100 locations in the southeast U.S., bringing the MMI commitment to excellence to tens of thousands of guests each day.
