In advance of Event No. 10 of Around the World in 80 Sporting Events (SEC Football Rivalry Weekend), we're joined by Nadia Thornton, Director of Sales and Marketing at Visit Oxford (MS).
Oxford is home to the University of Mississippi (aka Ole Miss) which hosts its in-state rival, Mississippi State, in the annual Egg Bowl on Friday, November 29.
Thornton, a graduate of Ole Miss, provides us the inside scoop on all things Oxford, including its place in literary history (authors William Faulkner and John Grisham have both called it home), nods to its namesake Oxford, England (Wonderbird Distillery, British phone booths, and the Double Decker Arts Festival ), and a James Beard-awarded chef John Currence and his City Grocery Restaurant Group.
