The Grove

As one walks on to the Grove, they know the place immediately, a myriad of red and blue tents that rest at the trunks of the towering oak trees which create a shaded emerald forest that serves as the heart of the University Of Mississippi on any fall game day in Oxford.

Tents and tents abound.  They’re laden with tables, covered in fine linen cloths or anything red or blue.  The tables are the host to impressionable spreads of game day cuisine…dishes that keep the taste buds intrigued and the tummy satisfied.

The Grove, just like the football game, is a fine test of endurance.  On the field, teams compete for the winning score.  On the Grove, entertaining is the sport of choice.  The atmosphere possesses a sense of tradition that celebrates southern hospitality and style.

Lavished with chandeliers and finger friendly foods, it’s a bit of a paradox that works seamlessly.  Ladies i lovely dresses and heels, gentlemen in suits and ties, it takes the modern date to an olden day tradition.  Families set up tents and entertain their children and their friends, creating a setting that is reminiscent of traditional courtships.

If one thing is constant in the land of red and blue Ole Miss script, it is the whimsical nature of Lafayette County and all that is kept beneath its umbrella.  A list has been in steady motion, gathering names of fame that found their birth in Oxford.  Faulkner,Franklin,Grisham ,McAllister,Freeman,Manning,and the list goes on.  It’s a dreamy kind of place that continues to evolve.  Yet, the Grove holds down a tradition that exalts young ladies in pretty dresses and young men in suits and ties.  Greek letters cover stickers, all stating the love of Ole Miss.  That is the  way My daughter Sara Beth  sees the Grove and I share her vision.  The Grove is in all our hearts…….
