Ten-year-old Brittany Stauts holds her hands in the air as her sister, Megan Stauts, 9, right, Pamela Graham, far left, and Tiffany Graham try to maneuver their hoops during a contest hosted by KB Toys as part of Family Fun Night at Pemberton Square Tuesday. The sisters’ grandmother, Mildred Stauts, said Megan set one of the records of the evening by hooping for 28 minutes without stopping. About 150 children participated. Pemberton Square marketing director Katiya Vitayaudom said children ages 12 and younger are invited to participate in Family Fun Night with activities such as bean bag toss, sack races, coloring contests, horseshoe throw and spacejump from 6 until 8 p.m. on July 8, 22 and 29.(Melanie Duncan Thortis The Vicksburg Post)
