The World Series of Poker will return to Tunica at the end of January for its eighth year.

Harrah’s Tunica will host the circuit event from January 24, 2013, through February 4.

There will be 12 gold ring events, but the main event starts on Friday, February 1.

Since 2005, Harrah’s officials say $32 million in prize money has been given out to winners.

In 2012, main event winner Kurt Jewell took home almost $200,000 from a field of more than 600 others.

Points from the events can qualify players for a seat at the national event in New Orleans.

The Chickasaw Council of Boy Scouts are putting their forces behind the Mid-South Food Bank this holiday season.

Scouting for Food is an effort to feed families in need.

One in five Mid-Southerners struggle with food insecurity - that's a lack of sufficient food to meet basic needs.

"I think were going to have a record year. Not only have we filled up all the bins this year at this location, but we also picked up North Mississippi.

They had eight troop groups down there," said David Stephens of the Mid-South food bank.

This year, Kroger is also lending a hand by offering eight food collection sites.

The Mid-South Food Bank delivers more than one million pounds of food per month.
