South Mississippi Dulcimer Association

image WELCOME
My name is Karen Mims and I am the founder of the South Mississippi Dulcimer Association. I am very excited that there are several dulcimer groups in the southern part of our state. They are Southern Strings, Runnelstown, Columbia, Leakesville and Poplarville. Southern Strings (Hattiesburg) meets every Tuesday, at the Dixie School Log Cabin at 7:00 p.m. The Leakesville group is meeting every Monday at 4:30 PM in the library. The Runnelstown group is meeting every Monday at 7:00 PM in the community center. All of these groups are growing and they invite each of you to come and join them. For more information please use our contact page.

I hope you enjoy our site and pictures of Southern Strings 2008 Festival. Check back with us often for new happenings, and make sure you create an account at the top right of this page before you leave to receive our electronic newsletter.
