Bike Ride

A group of motorcycles rumbled through Guntown on Saturday, Oct. 18, but the riders weren't there to cause trouble. They were riding for a good cause: supporting vision-impaired children in our state.

The event was the first Bike Ride, sponsored by the Mississippi Parents of Blind Children. The organization, for now mostly made up of parents in north Mississippi, used the bike ride as a fundraiser. James Gusmus, the guy you see in the photos with the light beige jacket, was chairman of the bike ride. Patsy Sartin of Belden is president of Mississippi Parents of Blind Children.

The riders started from Guntown, went up U.S. 45 to Corinth, cut across to Iuka, went back down Highway 25 to the Natchez Trace and then cruised back into Guntown for a fish fry.
