Mississippi Children’s Museum of Meridian hosts Magic Monday
MERIDIAN, Miss. (WTOK) -Monday, MCM-Meridian hosted Magic Monday with the theme “The Great Outdoors.”
Although it was a pretty hot day, the museum had quite a few activities for the kids to enjoy on the inside and a snow cone machine on the outside.
Children from all over came out from 10 AM until 3 PM to do various activities, such as leaf rubbing, bird nest making, and interacting with the Mississippi Museum of Natural Sciences.
Hosting events like these can be unique, especially when it puts a smile on the kid’s faces.
“It is absolutely great. You get to see their smiles. We’ve had several children today, and I don’t know if it was their first time seeing turtles and alligators, but they were just absolutely overjoyed, and the look on their faces was priceless,” says Program Assistant Melinda Goff.
Now that school is officially out for the summer, the museum can open an extra day so that the kids and their families can enjoy themselves.
”So typically, we are not open on Mondays unless the children are out of school. So we are open seven days a week now, which means we are open on Mondays now, allowing the children to come out and play and enjoy. Every Monday has a theme, and this coming Monday will be Mississippi Adventures. We will be doing something from the Meridian area and throughout the state, so you guys should come on out. It is from 10 until 3,” Goff says.
This is the first of many Magic Mondays, as the children had such a great time.

JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – An Ohio man pled guilty last week to illegally possessing credit card encoding devices in Mississippi.
According to court documents, Sean Matthew Langston, Jr., 33, was arrested in Rankin County on April 28, 2024, following a traffic stop. Investigators said Langston and his co-defendant, John Carleton Johnson, Jr., were found to be in possession of 322 gift cards, 17 reencoded instruments containing stolen bank card data, and two magstripe encoding devices.
Prosecutors said Langston and Johnson could be seen on CCTV footage at various retail stores throughout the Jackson-metro area purchasing gift cards with known cloned instruments.
Langston pled guilty to one count of illegal possession, production, or trafficking in device-making equipment with intent to defraud. He is scheduled to be sentenced on April 14, 2026, and faces a maximum sentence of 15 years in federal prison.
A federal grand jury returned a three-count indictment against Langston and Johnson on February 20, 2025. Johnson pled guilty on June 30, 2025, and was sentenced to serve two years in federal prison and ordered to pay a fine of $5,000 on November 3, 2025.
