NATCHEZ — Sunset at the Mississippi River Bridge in Natchez can now be seen anytime of day — on the back of several local vehicles.

The commemorative specialty tags for the Natchez Tricentennial, featuring a sunset, the river bridge, a steamboat and the tricentennial logo, are available at the Adams County Tax Collector’s office.

The tricentennial commemorates Natchez’s 300th anniversary of its founding by French settlers in 1716.

Those who pre-ordered the license plates should bring their current tag to the office. That tag will be deleted from their account, and they will be assigned a tricentennial tag, Tax Collector Peter Burns said. No money will be exchanged because purchasers pre-paid for the tag at the time of order.

Anyone who pre-ordered a plate but waits until after March 15 to pick it up would pay the additional fee for the plate again, Burns said.

For those who did not order a plate, the plate can be purchased at the tax collector’s office to be delivered by mail in approximately 14 days. For those whose tag is expiring during the month of purchase, the cost will be $33.50 plus the cost of a regular plate. For those who are purchasing a plate expiring in a future month, the fee will be $43.50.

Of the total price of the tag, $24 stays in Natchez and contributes to tourism and education efforts in the city.

Because the system will not allow two transactions on a single account in one day, anyone purchasing a tricentennial tag during their renewal month will need to make two trips to the office, Burns said. Residents would need to come in first to renew their current tag then any day thereafter to switch it for a tricentennial tag, he said.

The tag features a design by local graphic designer and Natchez Convention and Visitors Bureau employee Amanda Hargrove, a 2005 Trinity Episcopal Day School graduate and graduate of the University of New Orleans.

Hargrove said she chose to highlight the river, bridge and paddle wheeler because they are synonymous with Natchez. She also wanted a design that would endure long after the tricentennial celebration is over.

“The bridge is iconic of Natchez,” Hargrove said. “And when you think of Natchez, you think of the river.”

Tricentennial Director Jennifer Ogden Combs said she is thrilled with the design of the license plate.

“We received a proof from the state a few months back and could not believe how fantastic the design ended up looking (on the tag),” Combs said. “Amanda Hargrove did a fabulous job creating the design that will represent Natchez in 2016 and beyond.”
