NATCHEZ — Hear the musical stylings of world-renowned pianists or get a head start on Christmas shopping this weekend in the Miss-Lou.

A variety of events are scheduled this weekend, but be sure to bring a coat — and possibly an umbrella — as cold and wet weather is forecast throughout the weekend.

Health care forum

A public forum outlining the details of the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, will be from 5 to 7 p.m. today in the Natchez City Auditorium at 100 Jefferson St.
