Description

The Hancock County Community Development Foundation, through the support of generous donors including the Family of Ellis Cuevas and the Bay St. Louis Rotary Club, will unveil a Bay St. Louis Heritage Star in his memory on his birthday, Thursday, April 6th at 4pm in front of 200 North Beach. A reception will follow on the second floor of North Beach. The location of the Star is fitting since this was the original location of the Sea Coast Echo. Cuevas served as long time publisher of the Echo and active member of the Bay St. Louis Rotary and Hancock Chamber of Commerce. When he retired from the Echo, the Hancock Chamber presented Cuevas with a Lifetime Membership. Ellis was known for wearing his Hawaiian shirts to every Chamber After Hours with his good friends Ames Kergosien and the Late Frank Hille.  In his memory, wear your shirts!
