Memorial Day: It's a National Holiday, a long weekend that kicks off the summer vacation season. Many of us get the day off. How will you spend your long weekend?

We are suggesting you put aside some of your time this weekend to remember and honor those who died serving this country. If you are able and available, consider joining about a thousand of your neighbors. They will be at Biloxi National Cemetery Saturday morning at 8 o'clock.

BILOXI, MS (WLOX)- Tuesday, several coast cities held primary run-off elections. Some of the races will actually be decided by Tuesday's vote. But despite those high political stakes, turnout at the polls was poor.

At the Ocean Springs Civic Center Tuesday, playing solitaire, studying for college, and reading an e-book were more popular than voting. The machines sat empty. At the Margaret Sherry Library in Biloxi, parking spaces were plentiful. Voters were not. At the Innovation Center in Biloxi, it was the same story.

The Floor Trader Gulf Coast is running their 2nd Annual Ugly Floor Contest for coast residents. Contestants can enter simply by submitting a photo of their “Ugly Floors” on the company Facebook Page by June 7. The winner will receive $500 in free flooring for a new flooring makeover.
