MS Film Office Chief Lauds Pike County

Many movies filmed in Mississippi in recent years have used Natchez, Jackson and the Delta counties for locations. But the director of the Mississippi Film Office says that Pike County is appealing. McComb is “a good small town,” Ward Emling said in a recent visit. “It’s got a consistency to it. You haven’t let your downtown get all boarded up.” He also called Felders Campground, with two rows of cabins surrounding a covered tabernacle, “one of the coolest locations I’ve ever seen in Mississippi.”
